Default A Bark House, out back.
Here's one of my latest bark houses. The wife is re-decorating again. This time it's the bathroom. The theme being "OUTHOUSES", of all things. So she now requires a collection of new carvings. And, of course, I should drop anything I'm working on and comply. Of course, I did and here's the first in what I fear is not the last.

Enjoy.

P.S. The weather vane is ready for a finish, at last. I will post more pics when it's finished.

Dennis

G'day Dennis,
that's a great example of an "outside Dunny" as we would call it down under, and I'm sure your wife is very pleased with it. You have me thinking now about a similar project LOL.
Thanks for sharing.
John

Neat carving on the outhouse, well done and another neat way to use the bark, love the feather piece too, can't wait to see it done, the claw mounting is very special, well done. Bill
