Popular Post Old Joe Posted May 10, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) I made this guy for no one in particular, but I will probably give it to someone on a whim. I don’t paint many of my projects, but this one wouldn’t look very good unpainted. Anyway a birder friend saw it and said that studies have shown that birds shy away from houses with faces if they have eyes, so I whited out the eyes. You gotta take curb appeal under serious consideration when showing a house. Hopefully this will be Gnome Sweet Gnome for some finely feathered friends.

Charlie E Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Very cute and lots of curb appeal. I think it’s great making things with nobody in mind. The right person always pops up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak0ta52 Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 A place near me sells plain bird houses with a few flowers painted onto them for $60 to $75. I can't imagine what you could get for a gnome bird house. Great job on the cut and the finish. I agree that I like the one where you painted over the eyes a lot more.
