That's cool and very well done !! What did you finish it with ?
Beautiful bird house!!! I especially like the 'bark edge' to the top cap plus the design of the bird house! VERY nice and it's certainly going to make a wonderful gift for your wife's aunt! BTW...where did you obtain the little bird that you have posted on the birdhouse perch? I have had some difficulty finding small enough birds to place on my miniature bird houses and your's seems to be just the right size... Great turning and safe turning to you always!
