Looks good!

I think a squirrel silhouette setting somewhere near would be a nice touch.

Yes, it is the right time for the squirrel to make a few more appearances.

Looks nice - out of curiosity, what type of joinery did you use?

I used a butt joint, nothing fancy.

Looks really good. Just an aside: Isn't it amazing how our wives collect "nick nack", while we men collect squirrels! :D
