Mini Birdhouses

[Bernie Weishapl]

Well here are a couple of more out of the dozen more I made this week. Only about 36 or so to go then Christmas is done.

Bernie,
I admire your stick-to-itiv-ness. You surely have made a lot of little birdy houses. you will make a lot of people smile. That has to be a great feeling. These are very cute. Watch out the squirrels don't snatch them out of the Christmas tree.

You are a very dedicated individual...I'm bored after 2 pens! Like the texture up top...real acorn look to them!

[Mike Peace]

Nice!

Bernie, are you using the wood collet chuck and bamboo skewers for the perch that Bob Hamilton demonstrates in one of his YouTube videos?

[Joe Kieve]

Bernie...those are beautiful! I too get bored after 2 pens. This is probably dumb question, but what do you use to get the checkering on the tops ?

Nice work Bernie. Look just like some acorns I saw in the road today. Can't do much better than that!

[Greg Just]

Bernie - you are a regular birdhouse factory! Nice work.

[Joe Meirhaeghe]

Nice work Bernie, looks like your going to spoil a lot of birds.:D

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks everyone. I appreciate it.

Mike I just use a regular chuck to turn these. Bamboo skewers or 3/16" dowels.

Joe Kieve I use a texture tool made by Sorby. Works great on small turnings. I set it at about a 60* or so angle one way and then turn it 60* or so the opposite way. I just eye ball the angle.

Those are lovely!
