Popular Post HandyDan Posted January 29, 2024 Popular Post Report Posted January 29, 2024 (edited) For Christmas I made birdhouses to stand among the mushrooms. I used the larger Linden/Basswood branches from my tree out back. They stood about eight inches tall. After Christmas I played with some short pieces and made Gnome home doors for them. Didn't drill for the birds in these. I put a door in the one I kept for myself too. I made the doors and frames as an assembly and let them into the turnings. I found I would never make it as a carver. Can't explain how the bark sticks to them but never lost a single section of it during the turning and carving.

I don't know about perfected but I can do them without going nutty. That small is always tedious chore. @Steve Krumanaker is the bird man and I thank him for sharing.

Popular Post Gerald Posted January 31, 2024 Popular Post Report Posted January 31, 2024 Good job Dan. Have wanted to do birdhouse with NE and now your idea for a tabletop is excellent. I have not done Steve's birds but that too is on agenda. One cool thing is I now have all that sweet gum. DuckSoup, HandyDan, Fred W. Hargis Jr and 2 others 4 1 Quote
