The misses loves feeding and watching birds and I think we're spending as much feeding them as we do feeding us. Here's a couple of feeders I finished this week for her.
This made based on a pic in BirdsandBlooms magazine. I used Cypress and really like to work with it rubbed down with General Finish outdoor oil. I thought it would be simple and quick but was I wrong. Alot of small pieces to glue up and angles to get right. Of course it would have went alot faster if I would have used nails and braids but I'm supposed to be learning this WWing stuff and we dont use fasteneres unless we absolutely have to right? The top was my add-on to the design I think it looks better than what I saw and keeps the seed dry.
This feeder is for Bluebirds. Basically a copy of a store bought design that fell apart. Also Cypress, sides are dadoed to hold clear acrylic so the birds can see there's food inside. Will be finished with the same outdoor oil and hung by the Bluebird houses.
