How and where to Sell your fine crafts - Birdhouse build Pt 3
Birdhouses are fun to build and more fun to create. I am an artist first and craftsperson second. It is the idea of creating that drives me me to learn different techniques in building. This particular birdhouse started creation when a friend gave a a half log of cedar. It was cut off from a project on their log cabin. I cut sections, that I call "mini log slabs" from this chunk of wood. From there I created a face for the birdhouse. Generally, I start by making a birdhouse face. This face drives the entire project forward and allows me to see what other materials will be best suited for the top. In this case I used Spalted maple and made it with the same process of cutting mini slabs. I have some videos on how I make those. The nesting box is made from any type of material as long as it is wide enough to attach a base or bottom. The bottom is screwed into the sides so it is removable and can allow for cleaning.

The back side of the house is the next creative part and in this case it is made from another book matched mini slab red cedar. Inn the end I added a thick leather etching with a Grizzley bear on it. I incorporate many of the items that I like such as etchings, stones, antler sections and other organic things. Keep it interesting if you are interested in lying art.

I do sell these birdhouse so in response to previous videos on birdhouses that I have build I have tried to answer several questions in this series on a new birdhouse build. Please add and or ask questions in the comments below. Thanks for watching!

I design and create fine crafts and furniture using organic materials such as wood, stone, granite, metal, glass and other materials. I make birdhouses, pens, lamps, charcuterie boards, shaving sets and a bunch of other things. Creating and sharing is what this site is about. I hope you enjoy the things that I have made. Comment if you want to see how I have made one of the items on my web site.
