Miniature Birdhouses

[Denny Knappen]

My tree display was empty, so I made eight of these cute little Miniature Birdhouses on Monday, March 14th.  The wonderful patterns are by Diana Thompson.  I used Aromatic Red Cedar and Aspen.  I also used FD Polar #7 for the birdhouses and FD Polar #5 for the birds.  I have now made over 120 of the wonderful compound cut Miniature Birdhouses.  Comments welcome.

They look great. The more I see them the more interested I get in trying them out.

[Denny Knappen]

Thanks for the comments.  The tree makes a great display.  These seem to sell year round.  I had someone ask about them last week.

[Denny Knappen]

Thanks Fish.  If you do any compound cutting, they are very easy.

[Scrappile]

Those are really nice.  I made several mini birdhouses when I was doing the lathe thing, maybe it is time to add to my tree with scrolled ones.....

Thanks for the comments.  Yes, all sold except for theses eight.  Most sold around Christmas, but some throughout the year.

Very Nice.

 

I really like the aromatic cedar.  I have not seen that around here.  Will have to look.

 

I love cutting these too.  One thing that I do is put a litt moss in the hole and hides the drill hole bottom.

Very nicely done Denny.  Those sure belong in that tree. 120 Birdhouses is a fair number to cut and by now you should know all the tricks  Thanks for sharing these with us.

Wow1 Denny, those look great. I never did any cutting like that. Not sure If I know how. Looks like a lot of fancy cutting. I'll have to check out the pattern and see if i can do that.

[daveww1]

That's a lot of birdhouses and they look great.

[Denny Knappen]

Wow, thanks for are the fine comments.  For those who have never done compound cutting, it is very easy and to see the finished project just fall out.  I can cut the birdhouse in about 20 minutes and the bird in about 5 minutes. 

[Loskoppie]

It might be saying the same as everyone else but wow love the hole display.  Did you make the tree.  Can I try to do that to to use as a display for myself.  I really am going to try to see it people here were I live might like them
