My first Dovecote. Quite pleased with this, it stands 2.74 metres tall (9ft). These are usually pole sunk and concreted, but the gentleman who asked for this wanted it to have a bird table style stand, this would normally not be strong enough but the central pole will be fixed into a ground stake to add stability in windy conditions.

Rock Chick Bird House
The ultimate hangout for the Rock Chick :)
This baby cranks up to 11.
I could not resist the temptation to do a guitar shaped birdhouse any longer so here it is, spacious inside, awesome outside.

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.

Micro Table
I do like these mini bird tables, this one has a base of about 5"x5".
I just need to add some silicon sealer to the centre joint to stop any water leakage onto the table and its all set to go.
Another Football Shield Bird House
Another requested bird house, this one with the Wolverhampton Wanderers logo,
28mm entrance hole for blue and great tits.
Here you can see the incline of the roof and the vent holes under the eaves.
These holes are essential to keep down the build up of bacteria in bird houses, though most people who make bird houses do not seem to include them.
