18" Maximum Detail Tree made 5/4/2020

18" max detail looking up

This is an old-version 22" "Maximum" Detail Tree which is now more of a "Medium Level" tree. Maximum Detail Trees are getting even better now!

These are the first Maximum Detail type trees. They have improved since these were made several years ago. Preiser Moose is HO Scale for size reference.

These are "Medium Detail" level trees.

24 Inch "Medium" Detailed Tree

"Maximum" detail means a generous quantity of dead branches. Some branches support "living" foliage.

Man versus Machine!
Lathe Milled vs Hand Carved Trunks

Each features a custom shaped one of a kind trunk which may be hand-carved and/or lathe-milled from Port Orford Cedar. 

Lathe-milling yields a totally straight and perfectly round trunk, which is appropriate for modeling tall, straight trees.  The base will not be flared.

Hand carving  results in more irregularities, and is the means by which we can make flared trunk bases, similar to how a cedar tree trunk base appears. 

In either case, every possible method of detailing is employed. They even have modeled fire damage to the lower part of the trunk, frequently seen on real old growth trees.

Some of the dead branches in this 18" Maximum Detailed tree actually support the green foliage on the lower part of the tree (Medium Detail Trees don't have this feature).

Vanna the Preiser Moose is HO scale. You can also see the lower dead branches are supporting green foliage (just like real trees!)

We also offer large trees with a MEDIUM level of detail...

We Make Large Trunks
so you can make your own!

22 - 24 Inch Lathe-Milled with 15/16 inch bases.

Every trunk is special.

CUSTOM 20 Inch Spar Pole

15 to 16 inchers with 7/8" base.

Occasionally we have blunders and mishaps for sale in limited supply.

Trunks may have curvatures after sustaining the coloring process, but cannot be guaranteed.

Are you working in a larger scale like O, F, or G scale? Or do you just want some
HO trunks that are fully prototypical "Old Growth"? Coastmans has them...
In Stock! We have them ranging from 16 inches to 24 inches in length, and
currently up to nearly a one-inch diameter base (about 15/16").  They are
tapered to a fine tip and have heavy inscribed bark detail. They come with a
large finish nail (with the head cut off) and a hole is drilled into the base to fit the nail. 
    
Each Trunk is crafted on a large lathe fitted with a router on a guide for the
tapering. Then they are further refined on the tapering/sanding machine.  Then,
bark detail is added via our "Bob Barker", and also by hand. Colored trunks are
treated with a unique blend of clothing dyes and baked at 250F for 6 hours.

Thanks to new tapering gear and an adjustment to the lathe, we can make trunks
of any diameter up to one inch. Very Kewl!

I also make HAND-CARVED large trunks.These are the best trunks I have.
However they do take time, so the cost is higher on these than on the lathe made trunks.
Also they are not perfectly round. They are wider at the base (think cedar trees) and
have more variation along the length. They have variations in them that are not possible
on the purely lathe-turned trunks. Contact me with questions or pricing inquiries using
the form below.
