After reading through Vagabond's Wargaming Blog the other night, I decided to try out the method of building wattle fencing that he used in his viking village. I used a slight variation. Instead of adding glue to the string before winding, I built my fencing, then dipped the entire piece in watered down PVA. This seems to have worked pretty well, and I'm happy with the result. I think these will look decent around gardens or fields, and are appropriate for the AWI time frame.
