Stocking stuffer

I copied this from one that I bought at a craft show, the guy selling them made them fro recycled
barn wood. This one is for my gift exchange at work. About a $10 average gift probably closer to $20
Front, back & bottom 5/4 cedar deck. sides and top 2X6 Cedar ripped to 1/2 inch.. made in a few hours
I trimmed the edges to make it look nicer. Made #2 this morning, added a sign above the opening,
trimmed this one with teak. The finish is Sikkens Cetol SRD. A one coat finish.
Sign cut from scrap vinyl siding. Dry transfer lettering & clear coat spray paint to seal sign.

One can be made from 28” 5/4 X 6” Deck board & 28” 2 X 6
The base is cut at 14 degree 10 3/4” tall from the long side
as viewed from the front pitch the roof at 6.5 inches from the base.
The sides are 7” long and the roof 11” Ripped to 1/2” from the 2 X 6
Work from the bottom up attaching the sides to the front and back
I used a brad nailer & glue. The top side board will need to be planed
at a steep angle to match the roof pitch, avoid using a nail in that area.
then attach the roof. Overhang the first piece at the peak then plane
so the opposing board will fit without a gap. working down one of
the roof boards was ripped in or 3/4 to reduce the overhang.
I hinged the floor with a 3/16” brass rod and one screw to secure it
at the back. Size the opening for your desired species. Add a pearch
if desired.
