Specialty Door Revisited

Taking the cue from Ed's previous post, about the small door installed on a tree hole
http://gawker.com/5992946/san-francisco-community-rallys-around-mysterious-elf-door-found-in-tree

I made one, with a few extras, to fit between tree roots:

It's been donated to the Master Gardeners for their fund raiser, coming up April 20th.

Yep, it was fun. And similarly as the response to the San Francisco door w=

Cute. Think you should add a mini-mailbox with the name A.Squirrel
printed on it.

Yep, any little tidbit of accessory or "something different" appeal, to pro=

Thanks. I was happy it came out as well as it did. The first attempt didn't have an inner wood core and the main body distorted all sorts of ways, when trying to add other aspects to it. An inner wood core is a must.

A master of whimsy, you are ... really love that kind of stuff, along
with the attitude/mindset it takes to bring it to life.

Well done!

I've had lots of practice with whimsy and the like. Having no children, ma=
ny of my past "token" projects were for nieces and nephews, as they were gr=
owing up. These days, I now unload these tokens on their children. One on=
ce requested a Harry Potter magic wand.
