14 birdhouses turned ornaments

[amazingkevin]

14 the hard way! They were going to be bird houses and wanted the best side on front. But to do that I,d have to make the perch and nest holes by eye.so that means taking them out of there shell and find a good side.well my friend says to just keep it simple and make them ornaments! That saves a lot of time so I did!!! I could cut about 3" and my arms were dead.still more resting I guess

Thanks Bobby!!! These are raw wood .I,d like to bring out the beauty of the wood but have no idea what will do that best?

Is this what they call ''Resting'' in the US ?   I'm pretty sure that the doctors didn't prescribe scrolling till your arms went dead !!!!

If you don't rest up you will be away from your saw for a very long time !!!!!!

Take care of yourself

nice job, take care of yourself. I know how frustrating having to take it easy can be. I've had 2 cataracts done in Sept. and Oct. and was unable to work in the shop for 2 weeks after each one.

Kevin, you gotta learn to take breaks and walk away and rest for a bit.  we don't want you back in the hospital or worse.  Now, that said, these look nice and will indeed make great ornaments.  I would probably just put on a clear finish that shows the beauty of the wood.

Great work as usual Kevin...Take it easy though,when I had the heart attack they didn't  want me to raise my arms higher than my elbows.

I agree with Brenda and Melanie..........REST    7 Would have been better than 14.  Good work though.
