Mesquite Birdhouse

[robert raess]

Here is a Mesquite Birdhouse I made for my daughter on Mothers day /Birthday.The Cap and base are both Mesquite.The cap was textured with 2 methods. 1. punched an indent then scraped down to surface then applied hot water..and bumps appeared. 2.Master carver hi-speed tool with a round tip burr,to indent of various sizes.The pc. is my version of an acorn,meant to be a functional birdhouse. Coated with exterior grade polyurethane.The perch is made of Wenge set on two posts made of Manzanita[pinkish] with two nails made of birch.The hole to the house is natural[actually flew off as turning].Hop you like the pic's.

Very unique and different birdhouse. I really like the design. The perch is something I've not seen done before. Great job.
