There seems to be a quite a bit of activity around decorating trees with Fairy or Gnome doors lately.

Here is my take on working with a Tree in the yard.

First, Find a tree with a scar in the bark.
2nd, Take a photo and measure the tallest and widest points.
3rd. Upload it in Aspire and create and outline of the scar to scale.
4th design a castle/ door to fit in the scar.
5th carve and install said carved castle.

Happy wife ,and granddaughters.

I'm in AWE! Brilliant concept, Scott.
I think that'd work even if the trunk wasn't scarred; just need a bit of moss to hide the outline.

Wife wants to know if the door opens??

Long winter, huh?

Cool idea!!
More to the point, John, how many flights of stairs? :)
Well hot dam is that ever cool. Great imagination Scott!
That is just fabulous, Scott! Won't work in our yard, though. The biggest tree is only about 8" diameter. I guess we could do a mouse door... :wink:

I don't know why but looking at this I have a picture of a firewood holder with something like this on the end so that some of the wood would overhang the carving and look like a fairy house.

I'm with @honesttjohn "Long winter, huh?"
