Woodturning Birdhouse Ornaments

Making birdhouse ornaments out of fallen branches.
“Many of the woods I use are from trees that have been cut down due to disease or to make way for construction. This is wood that would otherwise be burned or end up in a landfill.
To me, it is exciting to find the hidden beauty in a chunk of wood. Even a very plain piece of wood offers design opportunities. When working with plain wood, I often enhance the wood by carving or burning. My carved and burned designs mimic textures and patterns found in nature.

    What a fantastic looking ornament, I think it'd look even better as a full sized birdhouse ... a luxury one at that 👍

    Absolutely love the design, lots of ideas for future use, and a new (to me) glue to try. Thanks,

    Thanks Gary! When I first started turning the skew is the first tool I used. I still get catches once in a while, but I like the finish it leaves

    A little too small for hummingbirds, Mike! I used black India ink for the black finials. Thanks for watching ❤️ 👀
