I finished the octagon birdhouses and put a preservative finish on them. They are designed to be bolted on a pole, just for small birds. The hole is one and one eighth inch dia and the depth is about 8".  The old houses that they will replace have been beat up by sun and hail damage. I made them complex to help kill time during self isolation. Some of the wood is rough looking because I had scavenge wood from everywhere, including outside areas of doubtful quality. Should last a while.

Sweet! I really like the vertical stripes and the little finials.

Great project, they look good.  

Look like a worthwhile effort for killing time

Really nice Ron.

I like the screws in the bottom so it can be cleaned at the start of each season or not!
