These are my first finished lathe projects. I made one and showed it to my fiance. Then she went out and bought 12 birds at a craft store and asked for a spot to put them. I spent most of December filling that order. My fiance did all the wood burning, coloring and made the hooks. We gave them away to family on Christmas.
All but the brown one were made out of reclaimed lumber - either firewood or poplar banisters. There was some oak firewood but I'm not sure what the rest of it is. The brown one was made from a walnut gunstock blank (which is much nicer to turn than my firewood!!!).

Thanks to everyone who posted pictures of their birdhouses on these forums, I had a lot of inspiration from all of them.
