Pretty neat little houses Bernie. What are the dimensions? Any secrets for mass production?...you are apparently pretty fast.

Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.

That's a great group of birdhouses Bernie! Ditto the comments on the texturing and shingles!

Thanks again.
Mike the size is from 4" to 5" long and around 2" across the roof. I don't know a secret other than the fact I make the bodies at one sitting, the tops at another sitting and the bottoms at another sitting. If I get on a roll I can make 4 to 6 of each a hour. On a roll I mean no problems.LOL

very nice Bernie. I have been doing ornaments for about 8 -9 years now and they are always a good seller. I have 6 repeat customers that have one from every year. The hard part is a new design every year. I like your shingled roof, that is a nice touch.

Bernie I think your grandson has good taste. I like the 2 he chose, but ALL are great. I did my first few last year and we gave them away for Christmas presents. Thanks for showing and have fun making more.

Thanks Russell. He has pretty good taste and did study all of them. Funny watching him trying to figure out which one he wanted.

Bernie, did you carve the birds?

Bernie,
Your birdhouses are beautiful. Your extra touches (shingles and texturing) make these truly outstanding. Congratulations on your sales success, you deserve it.
