    Smile Just a couple of Bird Houses

    I've been kind of busy, but thought to show a few of the Bird Houses I've made this past little while.
    Any/all comments appreciated

    Those are beauties Leo. I like the bark on them.

    Cool Leo, I really liked these w/ the bark on them fantastic as usual!
    If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.

    Nicely done Leo... I've been telling the wife "We need to get some birdhouses in our back yard" ... Been over a year here at this house and STILL haven't done it yet.. LOL

    Note to self: ... make bird houses this winter for spring next year!

    Thanks for sharing Leo

    Sorry for waiting so long to reply, had to get some finish turning done before the deadline today

    Thank you Guys for the replies, and kind words, it is very much appreciated

    David these are rather small Bird Houses, sorry for not adding the dimensions of them, the longest one is approx. 6" long and the smallest one is 2˝" tall.
    But if attempting larger ones I would drill a large hole to the depth required and then use a hook or ring tool, or if I had none use a large size scraper/Oland tool to open it up as much as needed, should make for some awesome nice birdhouses

    Here are a couple more pictures of some of my Bird House ornaments .
