This is a little birdhouse I made this weekend. The sides are ash, the top is carved hickory that has been dyed black and the perch is ebony.

Nice work Greg. Really like the detail on the top. That is also on snappy perch!

Nice birdhouse Greg. What did you use to texture the top?

Baxter:

I used my Dremel tool with a rotary chisel from rotarychisel.com The top was then dyed black with a lot of the dye removed before it dried. Finished it with a rattle can varnish.

Donny - The top has a tenon on it that fits down inside the body and there are 2 screws on the side to hold the top secure.
