CarverDude, when I do vines and branches, I leave them flat topped and square sided until I get the grounding complete. I then take a small, detail knife and begin to cut the edges off, creating an irregular, rounded surface. Remember, branches and vines are not a nice round section. If you want to add more detail, use a woodburner set fairly low and burn lines parallel to the length of the branch or vine. Make them of varying length and spacing, making sure some of them twist over the top of the branch. Practice this on some scrap before you do it on your project. It's not that difficult.
