Made these over the last couple of days and posting just to let Roger know that turning is still going on.

My church has a staff of 31 so made a acorn for each person as a gift for Christmas. Not going to wrap, it will be first come first to get a house. Also I won't be offended if some folks don't care for one. Kids on the street will like for Christmas if I have any left.

Woods used are Walnut, Maple, Ambrosia Maple and Burr Oak. Go from about 3/4" x 1 1/4 to 1 3/4 x 2 1/2. All sprayed with lacquer. Got pretty fast toward the end.:D:cool:

I made the display as well. About 24" tall, bottom rack is 12" diameter and top is 10". Each disc is 1/4" plastic cut on the bandsaw.

Well Steve............I guess there is something happening ..........glad you posted. That is a lot of work, 31 acorn birdhouses.........with all the birds taking the acorns to live in, I guess the squirrels will just have to find holes to live in! :rolleyes::D

That is a LOT of birdhouses. Nice job on them all too.

I guess that I have been more of a lurker lately, some non-turning projects going on.
