Will,
On my tree it took a quite a bit of time, about 5 months worth. But see I have a day job so I could only work on it a few nights a week and on weekends. Then I had the snake and apples and 450 plus leaves.
The actual making of the tree went pretty easy. Like you said though the transition to the branches is the tricky part. Lots of thin poster board to make templates was the simple solution.
For holding sections in place, there ain't nothing like an inner tube cut in strips. Just use them as big rubber band. Smell a little when they get hot but not as bad as skin.
Have fun making the curve branches ........little raising here and there and a little anti clastic raising over there and there.
