Pirate ship treehouse
I am starting a rebuild project on the Buttonwood Bonsai Club's Facebook page:
Buttonwood Bonsai Club - Inverness, FL
I will be posting it for the members much like I do a WIP here. I did the first one on a Ficus bonsai tree after I seen model that was built on a piece of deadwood.
Here is my first one , built in 2013
And this was it when I started to work on it Friday. Time and the elements had taken their toll on it. It stay out in all of the weather and daily watering as it is on a living bonsai tree.

Re: Pirate ship treehouse
Quad polyurethane from Home Depot will work great for this project Clay. This is actually industrial adhesive now sold by Henkel/Loctite as weather caulking/stripping. They used to only sell it in large quantities to the commercially. This stuff is super tough, skins up real fast, is paintable, and super flexible. My buddy glued 800sq ft of Brazilian hardwood ($28/sqft)to a concrete with this stuff, hasn't broken loose yet, that was 10yrs ago. He was a salesman for Henkel back then. I use it to glue hardwood to stair tread/risers. The Gorilla glue is stiff stuff, it will sheer off eventually.

Re: Pirate ship treehouse
Have the cabin and deck pretty much under way. Odds and ends coming together. I had tried textured coffee can sealer for roofing, adhered with Gorilla glue. 1st half set overnight then I discovered it was offset too much. Gentle prying and the Gorilla glue gave it up easily. So A trip to Home Depot soon to get the Locktite stuff to see how much better it works.
Get the roofing on, and a few of the 'accessories, then it will be ready to attach it to the tree.

I think I have this finished as much as it will get. Most of the incidentals are on. Just have to get it photographed.
