Carved birdhouses

A few birdhouses carved with a chainsaw. I make a lot of these in normal times a month from now we would start going to art and craft shows where I sell them among many other pieces.

After carving I burn them with a torch, brush and sand. Apply color, some I leave natural. Then put deck and siding preservative on.

2. This is great work!...

I love whimsical art (that's mostly what I create too) and the subtle coloring on this one is very well done.

[Woodwizard]

5. Thank you

Coloring is done with detail spray guns spraying exterior acrylic, and dry brushing.

7. I will be putting some up on ebay.

Usually I just sell in peron at shows but these are not normal times.

14. I think DU has a section where you can sell stuff

Yes! The DU Marketplace! I'd consider buying one there or from Etsy. I almost never buy anything from eBay anymore.

11. These are great!

Do you make any smaller ones.....wren or bluebird size?

[Woodwizard]

12. Yes

Wrens will go into just about anything they are not fussy, a large box they will fill with sticks to the proper hight. Bluebirds like a deep box 5-7 inches deep with a 1.5 inch hole.

18. I just set up a store on my web site a few weeks ago

Now that our shows are cancelled at least until august, I am thinking more like the whole year.

http://harnettdesigns.com Just hit the online store button I am adding more items weekly wooden kitchen utensils will be up next. Thank you for the interest it is a whole lot of adjustment for everybody.

Just got a big order for birdhouse from a local Farmers Market they are one of my reliable selling points still.
