Thanks guys.
Bruce As much as I would like to take credit for this design it is not mine. I got the basic concept for these bird houses from an article in an American Woodturners Association magazine in the mid-nineties. I did change details to suit myself, but the basic construction is the same as described in the article. It was written by a woman woodworker and unfortunately I can’t remember her name. Of course other turners were making very similar designs before her, but mostly with solid wood, so she might have been the first one to come up with the glued-stave idea.
