Thanks Art for the photos.  I might try the toothpick method.  I'd like to paint them a grey color to try and simulate old, old posts.

Tooth pics make good posts, either round for log or square for split cedar. I use black thread for wire, after looking at a lot of commercial products, none of which looked good to me.  I glue it to the posts with thick CA and a squirt of accelerator. Here is a pic of a diorama my Gdaughter is making.

If you think you have it right, your standards are too low. my photos http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/ARTHILL/ Art

I have an area, surrounding this old shed..

that'll soon have a small herd of cows, but I don't got no fence to keep'em out of the road.  So I need to build one, maybe a barbed wire or, what we call around here, hog wire.  Gotta put in a gate too.  Any tips on what to use to build one?  Pictures of yours would be nice!  Big Smile [:D]

I see I've got to fence off that trail in the background going up the hill also.  It leads to the railroad tracks.
