Dove Cote

This is my first attempt at designing and building a dove cote for a gardener friend. She wanted to add a dove cote to her English garden to be a focal point. After finally figuring out the roof and 441 hand made cedar shingles, it has been completed and installed.

That is luxury dovecote, I know your friend will love it.

Great work on this Michael. The roof is really quite special and looks wonderful too. I wish I could get Cedar here.

Very nice work. The roof looks awesome, that sure must have been a challenge.

The biggest problem with the roof was trying to figure out the angles the shingles had to cut to fit the cone. It was a different angle for each row up the roof. Once I got that,
the rest was a breeze. A lot of glue used to hold the shingles in place. Thank you to everyone for the kind comments.
