How To - Making Pine Trees 

No hater here Bob! you just keep making videos that you want. I always get a smile when watching your videos.

Thanks Bob. A nice how to. A reference for the future.

Good video, Bob. Thanks for the mention. This is a very popular subject on RU-vid. I think you will get a lot of views here. I look forward to seeing that mountain covered in pines. For that matter, I look forward to seeing MY mountain covered in pines. LOL.

I could never figure out how to convert the scale to feet!! Thanks fo this video, the trees look great

Great job Bob. Trees looking!

thank you,I have n scale so this size is good for me,you do a good job with yours

Great tutorial thanks.

I guess I missed it Bob, what did you use for the trunks?

Thanks again Bob. A couple of things. First, cutting out all those star shapes seems REALLY tedious to me. I seem to recall watching others and they crumpled up the furnace filter and threaded it on, then separated it out a bit (pulling up and down). then trimmed with scissors into a "larger at the bottom", "narrower at the top" and then flocked. Have you tried this method? It seems like it'd go a lot faster. And, around here (Western Canada), the trees aren't necessarily that tall (65' would be very tall) so there are lots of shorter ones. The bamboo skewers look a bit too thick to me but the toothpicks looks too short / skinny. Have you found any material in between? I suppose I could get dowels from the hardware store but that could be a bit expensive. Finally, I've seen others "scratch" the sides of the centra sticks with a fine tooth saw to roughen them up and give more of a bark look. Have you tried that?
