cottonwood bark house

[feb]

Hey guys I finally carved something I could put on this thread. Ibeen kinda slow at getting this done. It's like you have to study the peice of bark for ever before you can get started. The first thing I did was to break off the chimmney, but in a way that was good cause it was easier to do the shingles with it out of the way. I really felt good about it when it was finished. It is 6" x 3' thick x 3 1/2 inches wide. I finished it with feed&wax. The bark came from and eastern cotton wood that was 8 ft. thick. I hope you enjoy and commments are alway welcome.

Very nice and that feed and wax looks good I might have to give that a try on one of the houses I am near finishing.
