Just joined this afternoon and have been reading the Turning Forum. I do mostly woodturning although I also love to refinish antique furniture. Here is a mini birdhouse I turn and they sell great for Christmas ornaments. Last year I sold over 200 which I start turning in January for the next Christmas. Anyway they are 3 piece and can turn from 3 to 5 per hour.

I love those and have done many myself.  Where do you get the birds?  That one is nice looking.

sweet...

Nice design, I do quite a few bird house ornaments every year as well. People just seem to like them. Welcome to the Partriot!

Problem is some of the birds I used to order which were my favorites are no longer in stock. Sometimes it can get frustrating. Thankfully I ordered about 750 of them back then. LOL

Looks really great!

Birds are also available at hobby lobby, thats where this one came from, package of 10

I made one similar to that one, however it came out looking like an artillery shell breaking the sound barrier

Yes Hobby Lobby does have them but kind of expensive when doing 150 or more for the Christmas season. I get them for about 15.00 for 24 of them and 12 for $12 or $13.
