An explanation of how I add the branches made from mono filament fishing line, either glued in a hole or passed all the way through the trunk. The branches have a piece layer across them and glued, then trimmed leaving forked branch.

Spruce in 1:16 scale for a customer :
The lower 1/2 part of the tree made of separate branches glued to a dowel.
Branches were already "greened"with fibres. 12, 10 and finaly the needles 2 mm ones.
When ready this Norway spruce will be covered with"( a lot of) "snow" so I do not have to bother about the dtails of the branches and trunk because they wont be visable.

the branches with their first layer of fibres( 12 mm)
