Birdhouses and stand

Had a request for a birdhouse, but didn't know what colors/woods the person was looking for so I tried some cool combinations. The left is Quinta and Carob, the Right is Buckeye Burl (with a bit of turquiose where a bark inclusion flew out) and Walnut. Both have Blackwood perches. The are about 2 1/2" dia. x 3 1/4" tall. After doing them, I got bored and realized I had no way to display them at work so I made the stand. Basic steel grounding wire from the local big box, wrapped with 20 ga. wire to hold them together and then epoxied into the spalted maple base.

I love these little birdhouses. I still haven't turned any but every time I see them they bring a smile to my face. Nice work, Chris.

What, Chris-you didn't turn the metal stand? Just kidding. I like the color combo's you picked.

Getting into the Christmas mode are we? Very nice. Loved the discussion the other day about perch or no perch. Your's are very nice and worth the extra effort. Way to go. 8)
