MR ran a story on making palm trees back in the late 60's and to this day their still the best ones i've seen.They where made with wooden dowels witch were scaped up and down with one of Atlas's $2.00 track saw to put in bark detail. Then for the dead leaves that are right below the foilage, they used a heavy jute type string and roughed the ends with the same Atlas saw, they then used Walthers GOO to adtach the string to the top of the tree.They put it on starting on the bottom and working up to just below the top. Then for the green tops he found some fake leaves at a craft store and glued them into the dead foilage at the top of the tree,they looked great.
