Birdhouse Ornaments

[Bernie Weishapl]

Here are a couple of birdhouses that a friend of mine wanted made for her grandkids for Christmas. Needed to get pictures before the birds went on as she is on her way to get them. She wanted pink and purple for her granddaughter Kaitlyn and wanted red, blue, yellow Kansas University colors for her grandson Rhys. He is a big KU fan. I used some burning on the roof to make it look like old shingles and on the other which you can see to well it has swirls on the roof. She was just ecstatic about them. She wants two more for a neice and nephew. She told me on these to surprise her but did want them colored. Not much but a ton of fun to make.

Very nice, Bernie. I really like the shingles and have not seen that before. I can see why your friend likes them so much.

[Roger Chandler]

Good stuff Bernie............I like the colors and the shingles.

[John Keeton]

Bernie, I am betting you have the most colorful birdhouse ornaments on the creek!! Neat work!

[Steve Kennedy]

Those look great!!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks. John she called the colors and that makes it more fun. The red one is the first for burned shingles. I am going to experiment with a couple more tomorrow. I haven't taken pictures of most of them I have made but did about 50 this summer and fall to fill the order for the art gallery. They do sell well if nothing else does.:D

[Bernie Weishapl]

Hey Bernie,
Those are really nice. The singles are great. How big are they? I know you have done others before, but I don't remember the size. Its been a while since I hung out here.

great xmas ornaments, like your shingles, Bernie

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks again.

Ken those are about 4 1/2" long and 2 3/4" across the roof. They are finished with that new General Finishes Woodturners Finish. I just ordered a quart as my 8 oz bottle is empty.

Did the little birds fly away??????------:)
I really need to start making these-------------just to cute.

[Paul Heely]

Nice looking ornaments, Bernie. I like the shingle detail, never thought of doing that. I may have to borrow the idea.

[Matt Owen]

Wow Bernie! Sweet bird housed. Just like the others, I love the shingles. Your burning skills have always amazed me.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks again. Yep Gary I pulled out the old shotgun and they were gone before I got it loaded.LOL
