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.

Great idea Mike! Never thought about a bird house with a stand! Duh!!! Nice turning and I like the different woods...certainly compliment each other very well. Thanks for sharing, keep up the great work and safe turning!

I've never seen one with a stand either. I really like it as the hangers and little hooks are a nuisance. Well done!

Very nice! I've been turning mini (3") birdhouse ornaments this past season and they help to use different skills. Thank you for sharing.
