This is my Gorilla Challenge entry. It is a birdhouse turned from box elder. The top and bottom were turned separately and glued together with Gorilla super glue. The top has a brass 7mm tube super glued into it to minimize wear from the copper hanger. It is finished with spar urethane.

I thought you were going to say you turned the tree and used gorilla glue on the leaves!! :>)

Nice bird house- hope you get some “renters”in the spring

I doubt it will be long before someone claims this one! A happy wren family indeed!

Very nice Joe. The grain and colors really look nice with the shape of the turning. You are going to make some wren a very happy renter!

Reminds me of the hats I see the locals wearing out in the rice fields. Love the patina and the colors, good luck in the Monkey Mastic contest.

gorgeous
the grain in the bottom looks like a landscape (to me) and then the top makes it look like mountains rising above the land. Stunning!

Thanks for all the kind remarks. I really appreciate them all.

Rent is extremely reasonable, it’s going for a song.

Very very nice! It’s good to see that you did not add a perch birdhouses shouldn’t have them. The size of the hole dictates the birds that can use the house and they fly right into the hole. A perch gives larger (starlings for example) a place to sit and harass the bird inside and it’s young like trying to eat the babies.
