Mel Yost, Mel's Miniatures, Sunriver, Oregon, handcrafts unique quarter-scale structures using all natural materials including local Oregon woods, cones, lava rocks, stones, etc. Each small building is placed on a natural base such as walnut burl or birds-eye maple. All structures are open at the back. He also makes 1/4" scale furniture from the same manzanita and bitterbrush wood used for his structures. Along with his wife Janet, Mel has attended Good Sam for most of the last ten years.

ReplyDeleteI am blessed to own one of these wonderful treehouses and enjoy it every day. They are so whimsical and evocative, it really fires your imagination, and great fun to decorate for holidays. Just the best imaginary getaway many of us dream about! Each one is unique, made of natural materials combined with the Yost's creativity and inventiveness. And Mel and Janet are the loveliest people you will ever meet!
