I'm trying my hand at this. I like to have a few made; so far I have 3. The latest one is the one at the bottom (birdless) made with carob, Pau ferro and box elder. I need to work more on the roofs not happy with the shape and I want them a bit larger in diameter in relation to the body, but I'll keep em.
Thanks for looking
Alex

They look very nice. I have made a number of these and I have had a hard time with making "roofs" that I was happy with also. They can be tricky.

Very nice work Alex! I like your variations on the same theme - especially the carob version. Nice detail work and finish! Looking forward to seeing your next versions!

I like them both very much....the bottom one is my favorite. The wood, the roof form, the perch, the finial...everything.:)

Thank you guys for the comments. I enjoied making it. I found it a bit easier to make than the miniature lided boxes, so I might get bussy making some more. I still like the boxes a bit more though.
Thanks again
