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.
Previous birdhouses.

2010 Bird House
(I was rushed in 2012, no pictures)
These are great!
I have no place to put them, no other birdhouses, and no particular affinity for bird-level architecture but my first thought is that I want them.
The removable roof feature is pretty slick too.
These might beat out your 2010 ones for my favorite, the walnut version is especially nice.
Nice, I like seeing your yearly entry to this! Bummer they are stopping it. Each year your entry is different from the previous.
Quite a departure from the previous entries! Really love the design. I’m with Matt, these may be my favorites after 2010.
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.
From the previous entries, I got a lot of “Those don’t look like birdhouses.”
So much for trying to open some eyes.
This year I acquiesced. Made “traditional” birdhouses.
I think my fav is the 2011 “beehive”.
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?
