I have an old weathered "store bought" peanut feeder that I go through a couple pounds of peanuts every week feeding my scrub jays. So I decided to try and make one out of wood. This is the prototype. The dowels are spaced too far apart, they're 1", 3/4" would be better so the peanuts don't fall out so easy. And I got sloppy with the glue and it's just got a wire for a hanger so far. But I think I can make a keeper on the next try. The lid slides up the wire to dump the peanuts in. It's 6" diameter and about 5" tall, made out of siberian elm and hardwood dowels.
