After much persistence from my wife, I finally tried my hand at a bird house ornament she has been requesting. I like the Texas ebony so much I modified what typically hangs from a tree or ornament stand and left a base on the house. The roof is spalted maple and the two finials are ebony. Many firsts on this project to include the small finials. I have quite a bit of improving to do on the finial design. I also had trouble parting them cleanly. The bird house is 4 1/2" from base to the tip of the finial.
