I like the result, TF. I made a couple like that, not quite as nice. I did make the dead lower branches and stuck them in tiny holes I drilled per Joe Fugate's excellent instruction he posted, probably back in 2006. I don't know that I ever would have noticed and thought to add them, but they sure make a difference to the realism.
Sorry, I got sidetracked, nice tree TF.

Nice tree, TF! How long did it take to make one? How much longer would it take to make a dozen? I would imagine there could be economies of time for things like spraying the initial fiber-on-wood sticks.
I have visions of a stream n a deep ravine, with a forest of these trees on the river banks, climbing up to a magnificent bridge.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
Been recently experimenting with a new type of Evergreen being not very pleased with the last few. These trees are quite easy to make and can be sized to fit any scale.
The few threads of the past have started with modeling steps and then images. Seemed as that became a bit too boring so posting the pictures first this time.
Coconut fiber is nothing new but sparked some interest to try some out.
Noticed on many tree tutorials the coconut fiber is put on too even and then trimmed evan more evenly after the fiber is strung on the trunk.
With that said, it was noticed there wasn't many examples of perfect looking Christmas trees if any the last time looking at them in the woodlands.
So the experiment was to make the tree shape a little more sporadically uneven like they usually are.
Thanks for looking gentleman
