Bark Houses - Feb 2011

[kdispoto]

Here's a few bark houses I have been meaning to post which I finished up recently. I hope to get a little fancier on the next batch.

Painted with thinned acrylics and water based varnish.

NICE!! I like all three.. I'm glad I dont have to pick one! I have a huge table stacked two high of cottonwood bark covered in plastic.... but its under about two foot of snow at the moment. LOL Hopefully soon I can get to carving on it again. Again.. nice job.. I like the touch of color to them.

Who's doing the bark treehouses? I saw some at the Arizona show and I'm sure they were from a class.

Those are all great. I especially like the way you painted the rocks, it really makes them "POP". Thanks for sharing

Sharon,
Are you refering to Rick Jensen? He's does classes just about everywere. Here's a recent thread where he shows his treehouse project

Ken,

If you get any fancier, they won't be little gnome and troll houses, they'llbe mini mansions. They are really good.

Safe carving and God Bless,

Mark
