Castle Cottonwood is Finished!
The castle is now finished! My Dad would have got a kick out of this carving. About 25 years ago I gave my Dad a carving for Father’s Day and here we are on Father’s Day again and I’ve finished a carving for my daughter. I miss my Dad a lot and wish he was here to enjoy this hobby with me.
You’ll notice a few additions from the last post on this carving. An additional tree has sprouted to hold up the castle turret. I’ve carved out some windows, a little waterfall that is filling the moat and added some interesting items like the roots on the one tree wrapping around some rocks. Just above the moat is a network of caves…perhaps, secret entrances to the castle!
This carving will hang in my daughter’s new house by the end of this week.
I love my castle! It looks so great in the new house.
Maybe I should hang the game of thrones mini-banners nearby that you made me for my birthday… or maybe Castle Cottonwood needs its own sigil: ‘Ours is the Cotton’.
Love, Em
