Well done.

Both look good. I really like the concept of hollowing out the Birch one. Neat idea.

Did you hollow the birch on a lathe?

I made a couple bird houses a few years back but the darn squirrels chewed their way in and now birds won’t nest in them.

First I used a Forstner bit and drilled holes about 1/2’’ inside of the circumference from both sides. Than I drilled a hole all the way through in the middle. Since the birch was still green it was easy to use a holllowing chisel to remove the rest of the wood inside.

Nice boxes, and nice of you to include our fine feathered friends in your woodworking!

We have a bird house outside the front window that came with the house 15 years ago, no telling how long it was there before that. Every year there has been a family of finches raised in that birdhouse and it’s getting pretty ragged but I’m afraid to build them a new one, afraid they won’t use it.
