Deron,

I am looking at creating a fake tree-house myself, and I came across the
following resource for tree bark:
http://www.flexbark.com/
I haven't used it yet - I would love to know if anyone else has used it.  My
plan was to create the base structure and use their flexbark sheets for the
final look.  I do worry about durability though.

Hello all

We are in the process of developing an exhibit on preparing for Kindergarten
and are interested in finding sources for a fake ("learning") tree for the
entrance, preferrably one that kids could walk through to gain access to the
exhibit. We're looking for something semi-realistic as opposed to a flat
painted board. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
