Here  , a grove in the driftwood stock has been  cut , eye bolts attached , then wired to stone , this allows the driftwood to remain above soil level as to deter rotting.

 A screw has been inserted after predrilling to attach the juniper plant stock in the prepared grove.

 The juniper is continued in the grove spiraling along to the top  proposed apex of the tunuki.

  A 3 " C clamp is attached to  improve  channel grove allignment.
