Here are a few birdhouse ornaments I did last night. Left is Ash, next is a scrap of dunnowood, next two are maple. All about 6" tall, 2" or less diameter, sprayed with deft gloss lacquer.

Wow! Those are easily my favorite birdhouse ornaments. I love the long and graceful tops. I've never been tempted to make birdhouse type ornaments until now, but I think you've inspired me. Thanks.

Most excellent houses. Are they hollow or just have the entry hole?

Will ditto the top sentiment! They are much more appealing to me like that! Almost whimsical.

Thanks! Yes they're hollow, two pieces with the top also being partially hollowed to make them lighter.

Very cool! I really like the longer tops. I may have to borrow that on the next ones I make....

Very cool Curt. I REALLY like the tall roofs, it is a nice change up from the normal birdhouse ornament designs.

Very nice work!! I agree, the top really sets these off!

I've been interested in trying my hand at turning birdhouses as Christmas gifts but never really seen ones I would like to pattern mine after......until now. I think you hit a home run with this design, something about them just clicks and makes them pleasing to the eye. Great job.

Thanks.Exactly!!!! These are the first I have seen that inspire me to try this - love the extended lines in the top of these!
