Dan,

Nothing to criticize, they all look good. I particularly like the one in the middle - very free form.

Thanks Bill:

The freeform look is really what I need to keep in mind while carving these houses. I do tend to make some of them to uniform.

My only criticism Dan is that they are too small for me to live in. I absolutely love the appeal of these little houses.

Great job, Tom

Great Job!!! They look very nice. Carving bark is such a joy, but look out, you'll become addicted! I like the fact that you can let your imagination run wild and incorporate the defects in the bark. Remember, no such thing as a "mistake" in bark carving...only design changes!
