Default Fairy Door from bark

Here's a pic of a last minute order for Christmas. This "Fairy Door" is carved from Western Cottonwood bark and measures: 5 x 3.5 x 2.25". The "Rune" on the door is a Fairy Protection Rune, to keep harmful Fairies away. The basket is for food offerings to attract good Fairies.

Very nice. I like the natural wood as well as the rune. The bowl is an especially nice touch.
