recycled Lilac bush

While I am learning to turn, I thought I would practice with cuttings from my lilac bush.
The roofs were just slipped on, but they have warped and cracked and won’t come off.
It’s fun!

Wow, those are pretty neat! Those would make great gifts. How big are they? Lilac, huh? Who knew?

wow, lilac must grow a lot bigger in Idaho than in Kelowna, at least in my yard…. Hey wait a minute, N. Idaho is just slightly South of me. maybe I will have to pay more attention to those lilac bushes. I had no idea there was usable wood lurking within!

Great looking birdhouses. Truly a magic wood. I would have thought they were purple.
