As always C&C appreciated.
Well done James. They look great. I just got my 20 and then today 12 more down to the stores.
Thats great,do you still have your sanity.
Nice work James! You have created your own style of birdhouse ornaments!! Cool!
Well done. They look like they would be fun to do.
Congrats on getting them done. It has been kind of fun to see how many woods I can recognize before looking at your lists. What is the Blue Poplar?
Bernie, sounds like you got yours a lot faster them me but then I never get in a hurry either.:rolleyes: 3-4 a day is a nice pace for me.:DQuote:
