I have heard of wooden dowel tapered then air fern placed in holes that are drilled in the dowel. The sizes would vary I am working in On3O . The tallest one company produces is 9".

Don't have my copy yet Thanks Jon! I do certainly thank you for your help! I will get to the hobby shop and grab a copy! I seen it on the shelves and went to the web site , but didnt read the article . Live and learn! Thanks again! 
Not a problem at all! Shamus did all the work He had a similar tutorial on CD, as well as his other modeling techniques, but I don't know if he's still selling it or not You might PM him if you are interested.

Hi,
If you email Bill Schaumburg at bills@carstens-publications.com
I am sure he would sell you a copy of the latest magazine if you can't find one around your area.
