Thre's a decorative bush around here (central Arkansas) that I found growing amidst my azaleas. Don't know the neame, but boy, it sure grows. Nice tight grain on its bark, and "straight enough" pieces for log loads. I trim with pruning shears, let dry a few days, then dip--several times--into Thompson's Water Seal. Logs seem to last well, look sufficiently natural. <br /> <br />As for smaller (or N-scale) logs and poles, I suggest the reeds from "matchstick" blinds. I spray these with grey primer, then overmist with flat brown. When I cut them into desired lengths, the lighter inside is revealed. These may not be foreground quality, but they'll do for mass loads.
