Standing Miniature Birdhouses

[Denny Knappen]

Last week someone came into ArtCrafters and bought the only Miniature Birdhouse that can stand.  She asked if I had more.  I purchased the set of eight from Diana Thompson's website and made four of the eight this past weekend.  I used Aromatic Red Cedar for the houses and Yellowheart for the birds.  I also used FD Polar #7 blades.  These are a fun easy compound cut.  Comments welcome.

Very nice!

Well done, Denny.....I may have to add some of those to my to do list !

[Denny Knappen]

Thanks guys.  They were fun to make.  Now lets see if they sell.

Very nice! I really want to try this type of scrolling but frankly, I find it rather intimidating. Beautifully done!

[Denny Knappen]

Tim, go for it.  Compound cutting is easy.  One secret is after cutting the first side, wrap tightly so the fallout does not move.  Then cut the other side.

I like the look of these bird houses. I don't know if I can manage compound cutting.

[Denny Knappen]

Sure you can Don.

[newfie]

Those look great thanks for sharing

Denny, they came out good. I did about 40 of them but none standing. Don and Tim, give them a try. I felt the same way when I first started cutting them but it's easier that you think. Just take your time and like Denny said, tape the side you cut before you cut the other side.

Nicely done Denny, standing, that's a very unique way to present them.

Ralph you are more than correct,they are addicting ,cut fast and then you peel it  like an egg for the surprise in the middle!

[Denny Knappen]

Thanks for all the nice comments.

 

Kevin, that is the fun part, like a surprise in the box.

Thanks, Jim, yes I found them on Diana's website.  $5.95 for the set of eight patterns.

 

As a follow up, one sold today at ArtCrafters and I gave one to my wife, Dianne.  Now only two left on the display.

Really well cut Denny.  I haven't seen the standing ones before but can see them being even more popular.  I might have to get those patterns,

Thanks for all the comments.  Looks like I will have to make the last four of the set.

Nice work Denny! I have cut them and they do sell, but not as fast as the hanging ones.
