Spectraply birdhouse

[scrollerpete]

Denny made birds for the miniature birdhouses with Spectraply, Idecided why not try to make the birhouses with it. Here is my first try.

Looks great. 

I have lunch with a bunch of guys who are pen turners and a couple are going to bring me cutoffs. 

I had only one 2inch piece left over from a pen I did many years ago so I got 2 birds.  I hope someone brings a chunk big enough for a Birdhouse as it is cool.

I really like that.

Nice. I might have to try that. The only thing is the wood I have is only for the birdhouses. Wonder if I can glue them together and grt the right thickness.

I need to google specktraply.

A few years back, I laminated some scraps of various thickness and species to do some birdhouses. They turned out different but neat.

I did that with a pile of random narrow pieces of wood I had collected. I now have a pile of 1.5-inch squares ready for me to find time to cut them into birdhouses.

They have stopper blanks that measure 1.5 x1.5x3 inches. They work great .
