Cedar Bird House turned from a Log

#birdhouse #woodturning #rustic
Turned this birdhouse from a cedar log. Has removeable bottom for easy cleanout. No oils or finishes are used, only sanding.

Looks great 👍. Love that you left it natural.

Very nice. I would think you’d want some oil or maybe some spar varnish just on the top to give a bit of waterproofing.

Neat idea, Rick. Looks like a lot of room in there, too. I like the natural look of it👍🏻

Thanks Dennis. Fun easy project. Very little sanding and no finish makes it a good one. Taking 2 to a show this weekend, so we’ll see how they sell! Thanks again.
