Extreme Birdhouses ( My Collection )

Simply Amazing! Good luck at the show… Wonder what people driving by the house when you took these pictures think….

You need to do a display in a setting of a town square or an old west town, that would be cool.

Wow, I never realized how big the big ones are until I saw a picture of you next to them. These are just great. I hope you do well at the show.

Your useual great job Gary.

-- Bruce from Central New York

When I look at these creations, I am simply amazed. Amazed at their size. Amazed at the craftsmanship displayed. And, amazed that birds actually view them a viable living spaces. I don’t know why the last one amazes me so, but it does. Everytime you post one these it is a pleasure to see.

-- When you give someone a chance it may well be their last.

Wow! Very impressive job on these bird houses. How do you to clean them? Thanks for posting.

God Bless

I agree with Diane’s’ post…I didn’t realize how really big the larger bird houses were till you stood next to them..WOW! It’s pretty impressive to see them all grouped together..represents allot of hard work, craftsmanship and great design work. Good luck with your show my friend…I hope you get so many orders you cant handle them all!

-- Bob, Yorkville, IL ...The more you know, the more you know you don't know

you got a whole sub- division there now john ! great work

John,

These are simply awesome. Good luck with the show.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Great Job John. I wish you all the luck in the world at your show I wish I lived closer or rich then I would be there for sure Good luck again BUDDY.

Tom : all the insides are 3/16 plywood and are all removable for cleaning .

-- John in Belgrave http://www.extremebirdhouse.com ....http://community.webshots.com/user/cranbrook2

Yeah, it must be depressing knowing your intended audience is just going to poop all over you hard work! ;)

-- You're a unique and special person, just like everyone else.

Those are fantastic John. Good luck with the show – I’m sure there’ll be a lot of jaws hanging slack.

By the way, what’s that green stuff you’re standing on????

Thank you gwurst and Kerry , You must still have snow out there ? I,ll have to cut the grass by next weekend .It turned green very fast this year.

Hello John;
—-as I’ve said before, your work with the 3R’s of re-claimed, re-used, re-cycled wood in building these more than….’like life size birdhouses’, is an act of determined creation in the practice of ‘wood art’. Good luck….but then you don’t need luck since you are ‘the man’ when it comes to birdhouses!

I have also have noticed that it seems as if you made it through the winter and snow….seems as if there’s ‘green’ all around you there.

Thank you for sharing….and,
GODSPEED,
Frank

Thanks again Frank , it certainly is nice to see all that white stuff go . It,s hard to stay in the house when it,s this nice out .

-- John in Belgrave http://www.extremebirdhouse.com ....http://community.webshots.com/user/cranbrook2

John;

These are magnificent. The time you spend on these to make them so authentic is amazing.

I hope you sell them all so you don’t have to buy a bigger yard.

Thanks again Lee. I still have enough room to put one or two up . lol

John, I don’t believe I’ve told you this before, but you truly do have an amazing talent. Your eye for perspective (and ability to execute the vision) is beyond remarkable. Very nice work.

-- If you can't set a good example, at least serve as a horrible warning... www.rarewoodcreations.com

astounding.. and I can’t wait to see them in person.
I do hope the rain stays away during the “show times”

(great touch with the LJ shirt :) )

Hope to see you tomorrow or Sunday!

Debbie thanks i am hoping for no rain and i look forward to meeting you and Rick .

wow that is great

-- Do it right the first time. Becuase fixing it is a wast of time.

whoa, never realized how huge those are.

Thank you Partidge and Zach , Luckily they are not as heavy as they look

-- John in Belgrave http://www.extremebirdhouse.com ....http://community.webshots.com/user/cranbrook2

How very fun and impressive! If I were a bird I’d surely make reservations to come and stay. What type of birds are using your houses? Do they stay year round or just nest during the mating season?

-- "They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night." ~ Edgar Allan Poe

Those are incredible birdhouses. Well built.

-- Remember, measure twice, cut once
