Denny Knappen Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I finished eight of these on Sunday and Monday. The patterns are by Diana Thompson and found in CWWC May 2011. The birdhouses are made from Poplar and I used FD Polar #7 blades. For the birds I used Aromatic Red Cedar and FD Polar #3 blades. My tree display is again filled.

Denny Knappen Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 While sitting at the computer with the display in front of me, someone came into ArtCrafters and purchased one of the Miniature Birdhouses. She liked the one with a flat base so it can stand. tonylumps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I love these little bird houses, they look lovely Denny. They sell themselves don't they. Dan gave me one when I was in America and my daughters keep asking when am I going to make some, so I will buy the patterns soon and some Polar blades.

Scrappile Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Last time you or someone posted pictures of these birdhouses, I ordered some patterns. I have just got to try this. You did great on these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Knappen Posted June 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Thanks for all the encouraging words. For those interested, give compound cutting a try. One suggestion, after cutting the first side, keep the block together and tape tight. I use packing tape. There are also jigs used to hold the block together.

Lucky2 Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Nicely done Denny, they all look fantastic. They are good sellers, and people don't only use them for Christmas decorations. I have a customer who has one hanging on each of her window blinds. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
