These are my fifth and final entry into our charity auction of birdhouses. They will not be having the auction moving forward. I don’t know what these will bring but the previous 4 brought in about $1,100. Not too shabby.
These are solid aspen, cherry and walnut, miter joints. Tung oil and wax finish. Aluminum roof and opening. Roof is attached by magnets.
I love the simplicity of these. I know it sounds odd, but I kind of just want to use them as art pieces in my house…I have a massive plain wall that I could see hanging these and painting on a very graphic tree to the wall to give it some context. Unfortunately, I can not afford these, but great work and craftsmanship! The miter joints look nice and crisp.
I love the 2013 one the most. Such a great contrast between the machined parts and the natural parts.
I see inspiration for a speaker with the 2010 one, though I could never get away with that much material waste from cutting the plies that way.
I like how this years is such a ‘perfect’ traditional birdhouse that it goes out the other side and becomes unique again. Even though you adjusted to the feedback, you still twisted it a little…
I think this would be a cool core77 competition. I’d love to make something here. Maybe we could organize for a core77 design school scholarship or something?
