I have seen a couple of birdhouse displays on the forum but can't find any. Has anyone done a tut on making one. If you make them how do you display them? Need some ideas and saying thanks ahead of time.

Try some branch trimmings, less leaves and mount them in a turned base, could be quite decorative as well.

I made this from some off-fall Lexan and a piece of tree limb using a drawer front as base. http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?167668-Show-Em-Off&highlight=

I made one in Dec 2010. Turned the wood parts and made the plexi disks similar to James above. On the lathe and indexed the 12 holes at the edge of each disk.
Hope this helps.

Sorry about the pic being on its side. I do not know how to fix this.

Peter, if you have ever used the preview function in Windows Explorer there are some buttons at the bottom of the page that will turn it left or right. If not just right click on the photo file and click on "Preview" and you are there.
