I tried out these two methods to try join the top point of my chair but didn't they work. The first included shaping a thin sheet of metal to sit on top and securely hold the frame top together. To do this I bent a piece of wood to have a 90 degree angle and then gradually cut a triangle from the center to shape the curve around, but this then misshaped the angle it would sit on top therefore would not work. The second would involve using the detail sander to shape the tops to point which would meet and then have wire wrapped around them. When I tried this on some separate pieces of wood the join was not strong enough and just pulled away.
