Or hang the tree from a hook in the ceiling. Always perpendicular to the world then.

You guys that take the easy way out. Sheeshh.

I've essentially done that before. I've had trees so big, I've run three monofilament lines outwards to tether is.

All you had to do was mount the tree on your lathe and make the trunk round.
