dgman Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I promised pictures of the mini bird houses but looks like Danny beat me to it. I guess I will post them anyway since I took the time to snap them! New Guy and amazingkevin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgman Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 The patterns are available at http://www.scrollsawinspirations.com/default.asp?ID=2 I use what ever woods I have on hand. In the pictures I see walnut, alder, mahogany, pine, Douglas fir and Cocobolo. For the birds I used Yelloheart, red heart, PurpleHeart, walnut and mahogany. The plans call for a 1/2" hole, but I think it looks big and clunky so I drilled 3/8" holes instead. I use FD polar #5 blades for the bird houses and FD polar #3 for the birds. I soak the pieces in a 50/50 mixture of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits. When dry, I top coat with Deft semi gloss spray lacquer. I sell these for $10 each or two for $18 wombatie, WayneMahler and Scrolling Steve 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
