Ambrosia Bird Houses

[rdatelle]

Well here's 3 of the Ambrosia Bird Houses I finished. I saw the one's that Dan did with that type of wood and I wanted to try some. When I got the wood, I didn't realize they came coated with wax. I ran one block through my table saw to get the wax off. It was a little messy but it worked. I have 3 blocks left that are 4 x 4 x 2. I might make some ornaments out of some of it. I dipped these in Lacquer 3 or 4 times. I might try a different finish on the next one's.

Nicely done.. I still need to cut a couple of these. There are so many good patterns out there and so little time to cut them all. that will never happen though.. Thanks for posting your work. Enjoyed looking at it

Hawk, these are just ornament type bird houses. There about 3 to 4 inches tall. The hole is drilled with 1/2 forsner bit
