Millenium Falcon Birdhouse

Millenium Falcon Birdhouse made for a good friend in the USA :)

Greenman Birdhouse

Heres my first attempt at a greenman birdhouse.

Pyrography on reclaimed cedar, with a 28mm entrance hole.

Native American Inspired Bird House

This birdhouse was created to show my appreciation of Native American art.

The image was influenced by an picture I saw on a war shield and I felt it would make an excellent image for a bird house.

I burnt the image onto the wood with my Piranha Pyrography machine and then used acrylic paint to add colour.

This is one of the few things I have made that I am actually quite proud of. Hope you like it.

Mondrian Bird Boxes

Two bird houses with a distinct Mondrian style paint job, I like the finished product and surprisingly the colours seem to make no difference to birds looking for a home, so good all round :)

Robin Boxes

Here are a couple of Robin boxes, by their nature this style of box is quite mundane so I decided to try and add a bit of fun to them by burning little logos onto the front.

Is it a Bee Hive or a Bird House?

Here is a little bee hive style bird box I created while wondering what to do next,

there are some bees pyrographed into the front (just visible in the photo), the side is hinged and lifts up for easy cleaning, the entrance hole is 25mm making it ideal for birds of the tit species.

Birdhouse 1

My first bird house, made completely from recycled wood. All joints are screwed and glued for extra strength. The roof is hinged to allow cleaning access, there are drainage holes in the bottom and vent holes just under the lip of the roof as recommended by the RSPB. Also below the entrance hole I have cut grooves to make it easier for the chicks to climb up when they are ready to leave the roost.
