That's pretty close, Mike! It's just a bit simpler...the bump is a vertical layer function with gain set to 2.00. :) Jackson, think of a popsicle. The cylinder is the stick and the fir tree is the frozen stuff. They're aligned vertically, and the fir is just made a lot wider than the cylinder. That's really all there is to it! When I get a chance, I'll add the redwood (and the oak tree) how-to's to my tree tutes. :)
