Miniature Birdhouse Ornaments

[Sandy Oaks]

Miniature Birdhouse Ornaments pattern by the late Diana Thompson. The wood for the birdhouses is Basswood and for the little birds, Purpleheart. Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #6 Super Skip blade. After sanding with a Mac Mop, dipped in diluted Shellac, then sanded again. Comments welcome.

I really like cutting them but only do them for Christmas.

Nice work Denny.

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.

I 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.

Hi Rolf.

I also sand before assembly using 180. The little birds are not sanded.
