[Woodcarver] Bark House

[Clive Goss]

Hello Alex,
That's a great house you have there. This bark, is it actually bark, or a
slice of wood with the bark on. Never tried it, but with all these neat
houses showing up it makes me want to.
It's going to be a great gift for your daughter in law, and if she doesn't
want it, then I have to tell you, I look good in a dress, and would make a
good daughter in law!!!
Take care,
Clive.
