Scrappile Posted July 31, 2016 Report Posted July 31, 2016 Did my second birdhouse this morning. The house is Macadamia wood and this bird is popular. Macadamia wood is very unique and beautiful in my opinion. I like to use it for things like pens and bottler stoppers. Very "showy". fastfreddy, jscottj, WigWag Workshop and 4 others 7 Quote

dgman Posted July 31, 2016 Report Posted July 31, 2016 Another winner Paul, love that wood! Paul, if you drill an 1/8" hole centered on the line at the bottom of the bird, before you cut, it will give you a notch for the bird to sit on the Perch. This makes gluing the bird easier.

Thanks Dan, that is what I tried this time, however, I drilled my hole just below the line instead of centered. Did not give me much groove. Next time I will center in on the line like you suggest.
