Wow

Great results. 

Great painting and detailing

So, What tiny forest did you cut down those little logs . Fantastic work !!!

Very realistic

Great technique - very realistic results, but also sounds quite doable.

Seems like this technique might be adapted to make some pretty realistic tree trunks and branches too.

Perfect detail

This technique achieve an awesome result! looks so real I cant wait to try it!

Fabulous looking logs …

So sad to read that Harold passed away. This article is a great tribute to his work and attention to fine detail.

those are perhaps the best

those are perhaps the best logs i have ever seen.

I agree

I agree. I could not be more happy with Harold's method. My one regret is he’s not here for me to compliment him on a great technique.

Been wanting to give this method a try, so as part of preparing for the article, I made some logs with this method. Wow, did they turn out nice!

It is sad he isn't here

It is sad he isn't here still.  I model the Cass WV, Mower Lumber co. along with my C&O so i will have a lot of chances to try this out,  But i will have to use smaller diameter it will be interesting to see if it works as well on smaller diameter trees.
