Introducing "FiberTree"! This model tree is made from the sequential addition of individual fibers to create the armature.  The overall presentation is different than from the other fir trees I have had for years now (e.g. Craftsman & Premium Trees). I would step so far as to say they represent somewhat of a Pine tree; perhaps a fir or pine as one would see in a climate drier than where I reside (west coast US).  The flared bases suggest a Cedar trunk, so we need to further determine where we are going with this. But it is a development, and I must report it.  We here at CSP are getting a handle on it. I assure you! We are! 
     The images above depict the first-run trees, which were made upon our most basic trunk, the bamboo "second growth" trunks (quite narrow at 3/16" at the base).  We have graduated to producing these on the cedar-material trunks. We like the flared bases and will continue with that, though it does add some to the production cost. I may request to step down the diameters somewhat, to escape the cedar trunk appearance, heading into pine territory.  We are not at Poderosa yet. I continue to ponder the possibilities.
     Fibertrees are relatively easy to make, and I am in the stages of producing a video so you can do it yourself. However, much research time was devoted to determining the optimal fiber length, weight (material), shape, adhesives used, and other parameters. I caution you that experimenting with this methodology is habit-forming, and you may not be home for dinner in time. 
     I will soon be adding a page so that you can further review and purchase these trees, and that link will be (click here).  These trees work great in HO and N as detailed models. Also to be available without the green component, Fibertrees are making some of the most amazing, detailed snag trees we have yet seen. Realistic N-scale snag trees have already been requested and shipped to satisfied customers. 
     Stay tuned for more exciting developments!
