>What woods is it made of?
I really like the tile work, tho I think you should of mafe the sunflowers removeable so you could change them to match the seasons.
See you finally got some snow eh?
Which way is it to the dump? ;~)

>The post is pine, the sign was ? salavage hardwood.
That suggestion is truer than you know. We bought the tiles in Mexico, they cracked in the cold. SWMBO doesn't know yet.
Still only a coating and most of what you see is ice.
The sign points about 180 away from it

>I like it it looks great. Now I'm going to bust your chops? what planes did you use to make the moldings? I really do like it and would make one for our home but it just dosent fit our decor but I may steel part of you idea and make somthing to hold number tiles to mount above our brick mail box. Why do you thing the tiles broke? was there room for expansion or are they held tight?
