I got away from making pens for awhile (never got very good at it anyway) My cousin over on the farm in Illinois, asked if I could make some Hummingbird Houses?
So I hit Youtube, and found a few turners who had made some, and figured out the best way for me to make them. He also asked for 24 Carpenter Bee traps. So for them, I just repeated the process I used for the Birdhouses. 10 Hummingbird Houses, and 24 Carpenter Bee Traps = 1 new Rikon 70-150VSR lathe. And I love the lathe.
So I was using a Wipe On Poly finish on the Birdhouses, but my cousins son is burning some flowers and things on them with his laser. He asked that I not glue in the Perch, nor glue on the Roof. This makes it easier for him to do the engraving. GREAT! So that's why the five on the counter are dry.
So that's what I've been doing, and plan to do more. Hope you all approve! Thanks for looking.
