Use a stable base, such as a large wood block, in relation to the size of your driftwood tree.
Use a threaded rod as the center to hold all the driftwood branches, and nuts that fit the rod.
Layout the driftwood for the tree, then drill holes in the center of the driftwood pieces that you will use to build your tree.
Use nuts to secure each driftwood piece so it sits firm and doesn't slide down.
When the tree is all put together, you can apply clear drying Gorilla Glue around the hole, if needed.
