mini bird houses

[Clayton717]

I watched a guy make these at one of our guild demos at the fair and decided to try them. They are made from various woods I had laying around, some spalted off the burn pile. the biggest diameter is about 1 3/4" and most are under 4" tall. The hole you can barely see behind one of the birds is 5/16". all natural colors of the wood.

Thanks Roly, I bought the birds from Hobby Lobby. A craft store on this side of the pond, they were in with the miniature stuff, like for doll houses.
