Bird House – January 2026
A nice start to a new year. A miniature bird house cut from Crows Ash. The bird is a gimmick bought from Bunnings, but it looks pretty good. Nothing fancy here, just a lovely idea to create some garden aesthetics without having all the bird droppings everywhere. The whole unit was finished with Shellawax.
A basket cut with a scroll saw.
The woodturning Club is looking to expand the shed and the options available to people and the topic of scroll saw came up. From a single square of pine board, only about 10mm thick, I drew up this pattern, cut out all the zig-zags and then glued them together. A handy little gizmo bowl.
Snoopy
An interesting experiment to turn Snoopy out of some left-over wood. A nice size for kids to hold (gently) and hopefully provide lots of enjoyment.
