Adding to this forum for a few reasons, one of which is to bump it again.Second, to say HI to everyone (first time poster)Third, to say this and the other forum about these trees are an incredible lucky find for me. I actually just came across the forum a couple weeks ago as I've never been to the site before even though I've been subscribing to Model Railroader for years.I haven't quite gotten around to completing my first attempt at making trees with the furnace filter (which I found at Home Hardwar (Canadian store) and Canadian Tire). Also came across 3 different types of skewers, all different sizes. Working in N scale, I will be using the small and medium sized skweres to give me a choice to make large or small (young and older) trees so the two different sized trunks  should work well. The larger sized skewers where too large for N scale IMO. Maybe they could be usefull for a different type of tree... So far all I've done is just cut up some of the filter, spray painted a couple dozen skewers, and added the filter to one of them. With me working all the time (I'm at work now actually) I've not had the time to really sit down and get to work on this project. Also - I have to get me some hair spray! I did these steps so far just to see how it looked so far (looks good).Thanks for the incredible simple, cheap tree idea - I can't wait to sit down and work on this project!  Derek
