Birdhouse Ornament

[BadBob]

I cut the ornament body from poplar; the bird is mystery wood from some cutoffs, and the perch is bamboo.

Cute.  My favorite thing to cut.

Well done.

Bird looks like bloodwood.  Was it hard to cut?  Bloodwood has a very high Janka.

I have a friend who gives me his hardwood cutoffs. I don't know what kind of wood it is. I cut a lot of birds at once and don't recall it being tough to cut. I have some ipe that is very hard and dulls blades very quickly.

For sure it is bloodwood if it is dulling blades quickly.
