Here is a Acorn Birdhouse I made. It is out of Ash and Walnut. It has 2 coats of poly. The little bird I got from Michael's. Not much but was fun to make. The LOML says I need to make a bunch for next Christmas. She thinks they are cute.

Well Bernie.....I've got to steal another idea from you! Question...did you glue it up and turn as one piece or did you do 2 separate turnings?

Nicely done!

I'd like to do a bunch of things like this throughout the year so I'm not so crunched in December. A resolution?:rolleyes:

Great piece Bernie!

Hi Bernie,

I really like the birdhouse ornament. I made some ornaments this year and even made a birdhouse but, I couldn't find any birds at my local Michaels. You did a nice job on your and it's never too late to get ready for Christmas 07...

The LOML says I need to make a bunch for next Christmas. She thinks they are cute. Shhhhhhhh, my LOML is still waiting on her birdhouses and if I don't get busy on them I'll be needing to spin a Dog House...for me! Great Job I really like what you did here.:)

Thanks everyone. They are a lot of fun to make. I figured I had better get a start now like John said and not get down to crunch time in December.

Chris I couldn't find them here at the one in Kansas but when visiting the kids during Christmas in Richmond, VA. I found the mini's. We will be going to Denver so will check there to.

Craft Supply sells birds. Sometimes you can find them in hobby shops. In the St. Louis area there are stores called Ben Franklin that sell them.

Great Birdhouse Bernie ! I normally don't like the birds, but you got the scale just right on this one, and I like it.:) :)
