Amazing. You have talent. I would never had thought of a bird house for a piece of wood like that.

That’s a real shoe-in. A bird house with sole. I can easily see where the Mermaid title comes from. Years ago I was showing a friend of mine how to turn a bowl and the first one he did had a perfect ‘Ziggy’ cartoon.

-- I just got done cutting three boards and all four of them were too short. (true story)

Thanks for all your comments. This whole shoe carving business started when I needed a mount for a house wren I did a few years back. The client liked the boot and had little to say about the wren carving!

Thanks for the comment , Sheila. I loved the nursery rhyme and thought I could incorporate a roof into one of my boot patterns. It worked quite well and the bark on the roof left a rustic and natural look.

Hi Roman, It looks like a very comfortable place for a bird to nest :) amazing carving skills you got.

Thanks for your comments, Harold and Thomas. This boot can be mounted on a branch in a tree much to the delight of the wren.
