Hi Nate, I like that Swiss chalets. I was going to make my own, but I was bought them for a present so they are staying. And yes that trunk is a big branch from a cherry blossom tree. Hopefully it`s chippy safe.
The tubing I use at work, and that`s a 10m off cut ..ahem. I cant decide if I should cut it up or use a decent length. Maybe a 5m length and a few shorter bits would keep them happy.
I hope they think they have won the lottery when they come, or at least enjoy the space.
Nate did you get my email with the other design? It had the purgola included.
