I used an old railroaders trick for making the cedar shakes: Using thin corrogated cardstock, I cut strips 3/4" wide; then cut slits 1/2" high for individual shakes. Finally I stagger cut each shake length.
I dunked each strip into a weathering mixture of grey paint & black ink and dried them on wax paper. This caused some of them to curl, adding to the aged look.
Glue the upper 1/4" onto a backing; dry brush each strip with brown, greenish or lighter grey paint and while the paint is still wet, sprinkle on some scenic scatter material.
The oak leaves are the kind that come on a rope.
