This was made by my daughter when she found a piece of plywood in my shop with a hole drilled in it that I was using to help align holes for hinges. She said she wanted to make mom a bird house for Christmas. She told me how to what other pieces of wood to cut and where they should go. I started the nails for her and she finished them off. She applied way too many different kinds of finish to list, started with a brush and finished with her fingers.

And I’ll bet it was Mom’s favorite gift!
Looks like you have quite a talented little helper.

That is a keeper.
Put it up on a shelf and give it back to her in twenty years.
Great work.

I like the fingerpaint finish….

She looks very pleased with her first woodworking project and well she should! I bet you had a ball working with her on it, right, and I’m sure Mom is very pleased and very proud of her little angel. Adorable little girl and a very imaginative bird house – it should attract birds of all colors.
