Threaded copper wire through...you didn't say what kind. It seems pretty well balanced. might try trimming shaft, cutting a dome on top as per your pic next time...there is a wonderful old willow down by the river, but river is too far up for me to get to limb that was trailing. I think that wood might be a little more difficult. read this and was intrigued, so decided to play a bit…I chucked a piece of wood (okay, it was a dowel rod, not a straight limb from an ash, hazel or willow tree) into South Bend lathe and rotated the shaft, advancing the drill (which is still) slowly.
