Well got a call from the Arts Gallery that she needed some more birdhouses as she only had 3 left of the 18 I took down. So here are a few more that I completed last night and this morning. I have 4 more drying. All are from scraps of wood I had in the shop that were to small or to short for anything else. Comments or critiques welcome.

Bernie,

You really have this form down. How long does it take, on average, for you to do one of these?

They are all pretty Bernie! I think you could set up a production line on these. You are really knocking them out...Bill..

Bernie - congrats on your sales! Did you get the chance to take some photos of the gallery display? Or, maybe you already posted it and I missed it !?! Either way - glad these little guys are such a big hit for you!

Bernie,

When I get cranking on these it takes me about 15 to 20 minutes per house. I do about 3 or 4 a hour. I have about 4 to 6 of them in different stages of finishing as I am going along.

You have got this birdhouse thing down! I sure would like to see a picture of the birdhouse tree.
It must really be gratifying to have to make more!

All the best.

Bernie,
I really like these, they have really caught my attention. If you get the chance could you give the approx. size of these. They are great.

Bernie,

Birdhouses look great... How tall are these birdhouses? They look like they would make perfect Christmas tree ornaments...Of course, I like craft type tree decorations....

Thanks again everyone.

Steve and Billy my bird houses are from 3 3/4" to 5 1/2" from tip to tip. I make them mainly for tree ornaments. I am going down tomorrow to see if I can get a picture of a tree and the setup she has for my other turnings.
