Love sagebrush, and Sagebrush trees. Living in the desert, makes it easy. Just go across the street and pick (cut) some.

[@markmeredith158]

I like that method. Nice and easy. I’ve been gathering small branches for a few months so I can start on my trees for my WWII diorama.

I wish we had that branch stuff that you have there by you.. but here in Minnesota we don't have anything like that

[@bradcraig6676]

Great looking trees! Do you just cut them, dry them and use them, or is there something more done to prep the sage before making the trees?

[@kevinfinkel5536]

Do you have a video on how to make those cacti?

[@markdeschane4467]

Dave, Why has Foan becone so popular for a scenert Base? I'm one of those people who has always used cardboard strips and plaster soaked towels for a scenery base.
