Whitney,
I built a Semroc Farside-X last year. I did a 24mm booster. I used a technique Gary Rosenfield posted about for mounting surface mount fins on a minimum diameter rocket. I used basswood on this booster. The tabs hide nicely in a moderate fillet, so the booster looks stock.

I hope to fly mine come Springtime. I think I may try a C11/A8/A8 due to field size. (Smallish grassy field, I don’t want to fly it on gravel and cactus fields like Pueblo.)
