Create a thin cylinder with about 100 divides (so we can bend it latter) delete the caps. With the cylinder selected go to the fur tab and select grass.........................dave

That actually turned out pretty well, I only have one question remaining is it possible to assign shaders to it like for example a silver shader or do i have to use base colors to simulate silver
