    Paul,
    It looks wonderful! Enjoy your build. I bet there will more
    Thanks for a great thread!

    May I :
    2 little tips
    live vine idea--- if you purchase a dark color poly rope ( say 1/2" or less in diameter)...pull the inner cotton out of it.
    Boil it. Using a crochet hook...you can pull the moss and wet sphagnum moss through the weave.
    It's work beautifully ! Once they fill in the vine is beautiful and strong! You might even get the sphagnum to start to grow.
    There are some photos of these in my albums.

    instructions ( sort of )

    Your wood: I would sand those sharp edges and points. Red eyes are not the sharpest tool in the shed
    There will be an uncontrolled leap from a startle - you don't want any injuries Ouch

    Lynn,

    That is a really good idea! I will have to play around with that and see if I can't make it work!

    Thank you!
