Chris,
I'm certain that the Cleanliness of a wizards in not always proportional to
the magnitude with which he performs his craft!  I'm a fan of Wynock of
course!  I agree that the exterior isn't exactly up to snuff, especially in
regards to Bag End.  This was constructed a few months before Bag End as an
expiriment, so In record lingo it's kind of a B-side!  I wasn't expecting
this much positive feedback so I am pleasantly surprised.  Thanks for the
compliments  I really appreciate them coming from someone who's work I
admire!  Jon

It looks like this place is actually lived in.  And it seems your occupant
is a bit cleaner than Wynok is :-) [1].

The one thing I don't like is the look of the outside.  The tree is cool,
but I don't like the use of the corner walls.  Of course, that'd be remedied
easily if we just had some decent pieces to build large *round* trees.

The rocks also are a bit...off.  As someone else touched on, it would have
been nice to see this done like you did Bag End (amazing work, btw), with
some slopes and lots of plates.

All in all tho, pretty nifty.

The Wizard's Workshop

  Deep in the heart of an ancient forest stands a mighty oak.  Rising out
of the cleft in an enormous boulder, the tree is the entrance to a cave hewn
out of the aged granite.
  The Wizard's workshop is a fully furnished, minifig scale, alchemists
crafting chamber.  Workbenches, cabinets, and bookshelves are among the wood
workings.  The Wizard's library is filled with timeless texts and
manuscripts.  Potions, Herbs, Precious Gemstones, and Magic Crystals litter
the working area while an oversized cauldron sits on the hearth awaiting
it's next concoction.

  The Back of the tree's upper section removes to reveal a small
bedchamber.  The top of the boulder lifts off to reveal the play area of the
cave.

  This is my first attempt at creating my own fantasy subject so I hope
that you enjoy, and as always, I'd love to hear your feedback!
