Lissa Hall Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 I always thought this was what we called shrub oak but not so sure anymore. the middle has a deep orange red color with lighter tones around the outside. wood has deep reddish brown. thanks a head of time. I am thinking to make bird house from this piece but if anyone else has better idea I am receptive! Al B, Cal, p_toad and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's how they reproduce. Flowers are the start of seeds... And please post up some pics of the bird house! Lissa Hall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late to the discussion here, but depending on how many knot holes there are in a piece, and how big they are, if you have any more, that might make an interesting way to frame some family pictures. Kind of in the same vein as a natural edge slab for a coffee table. HARO50, John Morris and Cal 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lissa Hall Posted April 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 so here is the birdhouse I made. Nothing too cool. I wanted to keep it natural. The inside is just a base birdhouse with sticks added for natural effect. I have had a few interested tenets so far inspecting it.

Lissa Hall Posted April 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) No door to back was opened so I could seal it from weather. I always make doors in birdhouses as birds will not use them if there is even old nest inside.
