Spectraply Compound Birds for the Miniature Birdhouse Ornaments

[Denny Knappen]

I received the pen blanks from Cousineau yesterday and had to cut some little birds. I cut a 4 little birds from the Spectraply. I received different color 20 pieces 3/4” x 3/4” x 5”, enough to make 4 birds from each piece. This makes the cost 25 cents per bird. Oh, what fun.

Cool! How do they look when perched on on birdhouses?

Denny - What a great idea.  I checked my stock and I have some small pieces left over from making pens.  

==================================

Most penturning sites have them.  Make awesome pens.

In Canada, I have got them from Woodchuckers or William Woodwrite

In the USA, Penn State Industry have a cool assortment. https://www.pennstateind.com/store/WXSY99.html

I agree, That's a great idea.  I always thought the little ones needed some color.

I attached them to the perch and dipped in diluted Shellac.  Hopefully finish them by Friday.
