This is the tree as it sits now. Future work is the building of a new Apex and, of course , ramification. The trunk has not budged an inch since its bending and the holes can barely be seen already. I have high hopes of this tree in the future and i will post it again in Autumn. I am happy with the way it has turned out.
My bending skills are better than my computer skills 
Maybe one of the mods or yourself can advise me. 
thanks for making me laugh on your Literati thread. I thought the kids holding the torches was a crackup
