great out door bird feeder

Nice job. I like the shading. Is that from a spray or a torch?

-- Backer boards, stop blocks, build oversized, and never buy a hand plane--

With openings that big I would be concerned of the weather

-- Lizardhead---Yeah but it's a dry heat--Tempe, Az

Well done, I like it. I’m sure the birds appreciate it too. Looks like one that you’ll have to fill often.

-- Darrell, making more sawdust than I know what to do with

Well done, should bring lots of guests.

Nice design. What are the dimensions so squirrels can fit into it ? Thank you.

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

Rance , Shading is from the wood sitting in a box in the shop for years.

Lizarhead It has already rained hard for days in Portland and the bird feed seams to stay dry inside with no problems.

Thanks Ken90712.

Looks like this is a go ahead to make more as I had this feeder out on it’s stand for a month. I want others to enjoy this model of a bird feeder I put together. I might take the blow torch to the next one and give it some real looks then gloss it over.

Looks nice….thanks for thinking about the tree rats as well. Most birdfeeders out now are squirrel-proofed. :(

There’s a very serious problem with feeders like this.
The birds hop around in the food and poop all over it and consequently spread disease amongst the wild bird populations.
Right now, there’s and outbreak of salmonella poisoning going on amongst wild birds in the area I live in,
perpetuated by this type of feeder.
Feeders should be built such that the birds have to perch and peck, not so that they can actually stand in the food source.
This is not just my opinion, google it.

My bird house is still standing up to the rain in Oregon and doing good in my yard as it really adds a nice look to my front yard.
