I made that awhile back out of 1/4 cherry. Came out great but drove me crazy gluing up. Of course, that was a short ride!!

Reply to Miniature Birdhouse Ornamentsby RolfI also enjoy making these. I have also used the profiles to turn some on the lathe. I mostly use a 220 Mac mop I have a 180 for the harder woods and then finish with the 220. I do all sanding before assembly.03-22-2023, 07:08 AM

What grit do you use on the mac mop? Do you change grits for the final sanding? Do you mop sand with the bird attached?
Inquiring minds want to know.
