A few more projects

[mtylerfl]

Hi Andes,
I haven't been in the forum for awhile. With two jobs its keeping me from having some fun time. I didn't really have any plans for it. I carved the roof and then cut it out on the table saw. I added some text to the photo to maybe help you out.
Have any question let me know
Thanks
Herb

Hello Herb,

I really like your birdhouse. Do you have any particular recommendations for the type of wood to make the birdhouse out of? In other words, I'm thinking of recommended woods that would stand up to weathering well, and woods to avoid that birds might or might not like (does aeromatic cedar "put birds off"??).

I see commercially built Cedar bird feeders and Houses
for sale all the time. I use Western Red Cedar in our shop,
and have built a few bird Houses with the scraps.
The birds didn't seem to mind the Cedar, they're are full every year
and really don't need much maintenance a side from cleaning them out each year.

Thanks for the tip, Ken!

I have been using cypers for my outdoor prodjects the last 10 years & have had very good luck. the cost is about 1/2 of redwood
around 2.35 bft.
