Jim McDonald Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) Got the majority of my Christmas presents cut when I finished these birdhouses. A few cut from maple--which just about killed my saw--but the most are poplar. I found some 1 3/8" poplar square dowels at the lumber yard that had some coloration in them, meaning most people would have passed them by. This is not as many as some have cut and it more than I originally aimed for, but I was having a pretty good time doing them. Thanks to Diana for a great set of patterns. Now onto some stack cut fretwork ornaments. Edited October 2, 2016 by Jim McDonald jbrowning, amazingkevin, Birchbark and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Really nice. Have you seen the Snow Men that are in the latest Scrollsaw Woodworking and Crafts magazine? Same type of cutting only snow men. I think they would be very popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Nice looking birdhouses Jim, have you ever tried gluing one up with the bird sticking halfway out of the house? I do that every so often, the people seem to like them done up that way. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
