First attempt at a birdhouse ornament.
Redpalm on bottom with a light coat of ca glue
Cocobolo on top just buffed and waxed.
Fun little things!

Drew,
Nicely done.

Off topic, how has your health been since the lyme diagnosis?

Thanks for sharing and glad to see you are back to woodworking.

[Andrew Derhammer]

Everything has come back Negative.
Ruled out Arthritis, Lyme, Thyroid.
The chest pain and nasuea have gone away.
He said the joints could just be growing pains.
So i'm dealing with it, my elbow is so sore after woodworking but it's so worth it!:D

[Steve Schlumpf]

Nice looking birdhouse Andrew!

Glad to hear you are only experiencing 'growing pains!' Thought that expression was gone years ago!! LOL Always figured that's what I was told when no one had any idea of what the heck was going on! Hope you get to feeling better soon!

Andrew great looking birdhouse. Glad to hear everything came out ok.

Looks like Bernie started something with his bird houses.

Here's a picture of my first. Made from one piece of Blue Hornbeam (ironwood). The top was stained with American walnut stain to try to bring out the growth rings and finished with a spray on poly. The next time I do one like this I'll hollow it out from the bottom.

(This was the only bird I could find this late at night.):D

Great looking bird houses!

Thanks so much for the good chuckle David :eek: lol

Andrew:
Good looking birdhouse. I am glad to hear that you are feeling better. Btw, I saw the post on your pistol. Good luck in the competition. I used to shoot a lot of skeet myself. Glad to see you are back at the lathe.

All the best.

Don
