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.

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.
