Way cute, Pete.

Welcome to the forum from Tennessee. Lots of friendly folks here.
-
Well done, Roly. Maple would be good, but the pine turned out great.
-
Thanks for the comments. Last night I purchased the patterns for eight standing Miniature Birdhouses from Diana Thompson's website. More work to do.
-
On the houses, I use FD Polar #7 at full speed on an EX21. For the birds, I use FD Polar #3.

Kevin, I use wood skewers found at Walmart. Works great. Just make sure you use the right size drill. -
Very nice cutting. All projects look good.
-
A wonderful cut. DonR has great patterns.
-
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.
-
Thanks, Larry. Very easy to make.
-
Very well done, Jim.
-
Thanks, Don, give it a go.

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.

Thanks, Tim, definitely have a go at compound cutting.
-
Thanks, Steve, The FD Polar blades are great for compound cutting.

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. Comments welcome.

I just finished my eight yesterday. I can't imagine cutting THAT many!

Welcome to the forum from TN. Looks like you got a lot of good answers to your question.

Great design and very nice cutting.

Very nice. Yes, it does look like a trophy.
-
I have no one wood. It depends on the project. Right now I am cutting Poplaer for Miniature Birdhouses.
-
Great job on the name plaques. Thanks for your volunteer efforts.

Wow, if that is your first, you are well on your way to a fun hobby. I can see a quality progression in your work. -
Eighty Five? I am making eight and it took most of Sunday afternoon to cut six. I don't count hours of something I like to do.
