Turned Bird House


Here is a quick project that was fun. Again, as with the pens below, this is a project to raise money for our Holiday Party in December. The body of the bird house is Myrtle Wood and the roof is spalted maple (I think). The perch is walnut and the red bird I carved from basswood and colored with water colors. Yes, the house is hollow out and the walls are about 1/8" thick. No reason to get too crazy here. The bird is attached with super-glue. The finish is a walnut oil & shellac mix.

Enjoy, and be careful of the splinters.
