For the birds

Check out the code he gave! 412021

April first, 2021! I was slow getting this. It did seem quite impractical but the reality of Steve's humor didn't hit me until this morning. 🤣

Very pretty.
I put out a feeder last year with no results. I'll have to try again this year.

Thanks Jim
I enjoy reading your posts and love your sense of humor. Keep them coming.

Thank you
I have done a little painting with the birds and will maybe price them a little higher.

Our home owners assn, (4,985 homes) has hosted a large craft sale twice a year but they were cancelled last year because of the virus. Hopefully we will have a sale this fall.

I made some of these and would like to sell them if our Home Owners Assn. hosts a craft fair this fall. Do you mind telling me what you get for these. We are in Calif so hopefully won't be competition for you.

Thanks
The original design was for the birds only, but when I finished them it seemed not quite finished and that is when I decided to try to make some "vegetation" to complement them....

I thought I would share what I did with the bird family pattern from Steve Good.

Birds have cottonwood bodies and cherry wings, Base is red oak, and grass is from the local Jo-Anns, separated and trimmed to length and re glued to wood and metal shafts.

A new try at the penguin wall Plaque.
This time I shaped the smaller penguins more and added a 1/8" backing to lift them up and gave a slight 3D effect. You can see a little of it in the photo on the left. This is cut from one piece of wood including the frame.

I guess...

Looks great!
Did you ever try riding one of these? No 10 speed gears here or hand brakes.
