The holes for the birdhouses need a bit of threshold at the bottom to hold in the thresh and prevent eggs from rolling out in a windstorm. jmo
Talked to an old bird expert, because a guy said pretty much the sameThe holes for the birdhouses need a bit of threshold at the bottom to hold in the thresh and prevent eggs from rolling out in a windstorm
I agree but good job Gary. They look so fun to make. Now you’ve got more time for fun hobbies.The holes for the birdhouses need a bit of threshold at the bottom to hold in the thresh and prevent eggs from rolling out in a windstorm. jmo
Oh but that’s what gives it such character so bring on the gnarliness. Let’s make up a new word.Truth
aggravatingly fun
Used the gnarliest limb I could find
Hard for anyone to tell how this is gonna come out in this stage, but note the gnarliness

Yes, yes it doesI didn't see any made with peach pits. That sounds interesting.
I may haveYou've outdone yerself, Pard!

Seeing those dead tree limbs reminds me of the beach in Florida. A couple years ago or so, we saw this old guy collecting "driftwood". Every day almost, day in and day out. Then we walked through the Condo parking lot and saw a truck with New York license plates filled to the brim with the driftwood. Obviously, that guy was making something with them...maybe air fern perches or whatever.Dropped off a dozen or so tiny homes at a junk shop on the side of hwy 97
Great exposure
They're now what I call 'the ol' style' (not my new gnarly ones)
Basically I dumped them, got tired of seeing 'em and tripping over 'em in my shop
They no longer have value to me
Coolest ol' guy that owns the place
High consignment (50%)..I no longer care
Told him to 'get what you can'
No paperwork
Shook hands on it
I made a crude house tree to put some on

As we left his junk yard, I noticed several folks pouring over 'em like flies on poop
Not unhappy
Also, I traipsed thru our woods, looking for gnarly/twisty branches
Discovered the twisty ones were actually exposed tree roots from dead falls
Our cabin place is a gold mine

I'm gonna be busy
Mountain Man Gary! Did you ever see the movie "Jeremiah Johnson"? My hub loves that movie...he's always been a "man's man"...lol. Fav line in that movie was when Robert Redford got chewed up pretty bad and said about it "meat don't spoil in the winter".
