How to make a pine tree into a palm tree

I thought it was time for me to show how I made some palm trees.
I found some pine cones that a squirrel had “finished” for me on the parking lot of my work.
And that got my thinking, and in the local hobby shop I found some feathers that would be perfect for my project.

I used some watered down woodglue (pva ?) and formed the feathers to my liking. I then glued the cone and some sand on a base. After the feathers were painted I glued them on the cones and the palm tree is ready for gaming.
