Some birdhouse ornaments

[Doug W Swanson]

Here are some birdhouse ornaments I recently made. Some of the woods include Maple, Mesquite, Walnut, Cherry, Angico Prieto, and East Indian Rosewood. Everything I've turned over the last few years has either been given as a gift or donated to a fundraiser. These were Christmas gifts for my kids' school teachers.

Another note: my wife posted this picture on Facebook and her 'friends' loved them. I ended up getting my first 'Commission' out if them!

where are you getting the little birds at?

[Steve Schlumpf]

Nice work Doug!! Congrats on your sales!!

Jeff - you can find those birds at craft stores like Michaels or Hobby Lobby.

[Jim Burr]

What a great selection Doug!! They all look great and I may feel a hint of inspiration to have a lash at those again!

Very nice, the birds add a nice detail to them

[Greg Just]

Nice job Doug - Merry Christmas and hope to see you at the next meeting on Jan 7th.

Doug, I too would like to know where you are getting those particular birds from??? Most of the people I sell these to love the cardinals but I have been unable to find them any more. Thanks in advance. If someone has a link I would appreciate it.

[Doug W Swanson]

Thanks for the comments. I got these birds from CSUSA. I only have a few left so I was going to order more but it looks like they are not carrying them any more. I have found a few other places on-line but haven't ordered any yet. I really like the looks of these so I'm hoping to find a match.

Merry Christmas to you too Greg. I'm not sure about the next meeting but I hope to make it....

Thanks Doug

That is where I used to get them from also. Need to find a new place. Will check out Hobbly Lobby. I know Michaels and AC Moore do not carry the cardinals by me anyway.

Great looking birdhouses and congrats on the commission.

I get my birds from here. Shipping is a killer (minimum $8) but the price per bird is still cheaper than Michael's. http://www.sagebaskets.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=14&zenid=e5df9f60d5e34604d8013e2106f06d96

Nice work Doug. I like the combination of light and dark woods.

[Michelle Rich]

great decorations! congrats on the commissions!

[Richard Jones]

Well, since the CFO and I own a flower/gift shop, I see these things all the time. Here's a few links:

I have another that we deal with, will post as soon as I get back to the store tomorrow.

Do a search for "bird floral supplies" and you'll get quite a few hits.

Some really nice ones there. I love making these. Just finished 22 for my Sister, they are all on her Christmas tree now.

Rich it still does not work for me. Maybe you can find the bird page and post a link. Maybe coming from a different computer might help. Thanks.

[Michael Short]

Nice ornaments Doug.

[Doug W Swanson]

Thanks for the comments. I found these birds and they look very similar to the ones from CSUSA. I'll probably order some soon....
