So almost 2 years back Peter was most helpful and gave me dimension for a house I really liked.

See here. Scroll down to August.

Great job, wonderfully executed. What did you do for the tree? Looks like the real thing?

Well Peter.

Purely by luck.
I scavenged the parts off of an old wreath the wife was throwing out.
I went thru my box of random puitzish stuff, and there it was.

Would be nice to fine more, but my luck is only so good.
