[Woodcarver] Bark House

[Merrilee Johnson]

Hi Alex,
  I went to see your bark house (very cool) and stayed to look at the 
Mountain Man.  The hair and beard were awsome!!
  Back to the house though.  The bark houses being done by several of our 
club members here is Michigan, is more reddish in color yet yours are more 
amber/golden in color.  Could this be because of the location of lthe tree 
growing or did your tint/dye/paint yours?  The details you put on were 
great.  Especially the double bottom part!  Good job
Merrilee
