Lee, In my research I have come across the "Farmer Trainer training manual on Tree Crop Propagation and Management" that has a module on stooling. The manual can be found at http://www.gtz-treecrops.org/TrainingManuals.htm and the module in PDF format is at http://www.gtz-treecrops.org/Downloads/Manuals/Propagation/Mod04.pdf. In future Google searches try "rooting and stool bed preparation". it produced some pretty good results for me in my own research. Also, the American Horticultural Society's Plant Propagation book has several pages with excellent photos on the beds themselves. You can find it at http://tinyurl.com/b85n8d interested. I hope this is what you were looking for.
