Just liked the way the sun was hitting these earlier this morning. Snapped some spur of the moment Iphone pics.
Thanks for looking!

Very, very nice! Do you make your own hangars for them? If not, where do you get them?

Thanks Alan, I made the tree but not the hangers. Wife found them at Biglots in the Christmas section a couple years ago. I keep a supply of them on hand now.

Super Cool! The ornaments look great but the tree/display is a work of art as well.

Those are some great looking ornaments.
I sure would like to know where you get the curly ornament holders.

As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification. Thank You Everyone.
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

Thank you Doug,
That is alcohol based aniline dye. Applied in a variety of ways, some from the inside after hollowing, some dripped on, some misted. Just so it's random.

Steve always amazing. Thanks for the info you provided me. Just for reference about what size are the finished bird houses?

Thank You!
Of course the style of roof impacts the final dimension a lot. The ones with the "Gandalf hat" roof(grand daughters description) are about 5" from tip to tip. The "thatch" roof ones are around four inches tall. Diameter on the body is an inch or so.
