Thanks Ron that fits the bill.

My half-hearted suggestion about using a hand-drill for safety does not work as use of such a tool involves two hands - which are already in use! One holding the power drill and the other gently supporting/tweaking the sisal as the wire twists.
Confession time. This is the first time I've used DAS clay, but found a small pack locally. How long does this stuff take to dry/set? And how is it best stored? (I challenge anyone to be able to read the print on the packet. It's something like Font 0.5)
I've already shaped one tree, although I know I can do better next time. Any advice on what glue to use after painting?
Sorry, no photos yet. I have found the camera but not the download lead.

After that it looked just like any other tree. Sorry about the very late reply!
Tim the DAS should be quite hard in just a couple of hours. I like to coat the trunk with PVA first, then apply the DAS. I think some people have used hot glue successfully instead of DAS.
I store my DAS wrapped in aluminium cooking foil, and sealed in an airtight container.
PVA is the only glue I've used.

I use a similar method to twist pairs of electrical wires together - tied at one end, over the nail and a gentle use of a hand drill until the wire just starts to coil.
