Black walnut tree armatures

I got back to work recently on the black walnut armatures and added quite a number of finer branches. They were twisted up from 30 gauge aluminum wire and then wrapped onto the branches here and there to fill out the shapes.

At this stage I've established the basic form of each tree, and have brushed on a coat of white glue to firm them up.

Applying the bark should be the next step. Would this be called 'barking'? British readers out there might be inclined to say yes :-)
