I really enjoy creating different styles of Ornamental Bird Houses and have started making hanger base stands to match the woods used in the birdhouse. Using the bright brass wire hangers with hooks have really enhanced my bases and have increased and helped to get an increase in my sales. The wire hangers can be purchased from me if anyone is interested, Just PM me for details. I make my bases three inches in diamenter.

Pat, I love your birdhouses. Great idea for the base, I would be interested in some wire hangers. Please PM me some info on them. Cost, shipping etc...

Thanks Dave
 
Very nice bird houses. I been working on some for lovely wife for presents for her co workers. I will post a pic as soon as I get em finishes.

Dave, I start with a 2" square piece of wood about 4 inches long for the body, then turn it down to about 1 1/2 inches round and the roof is about 2 x 3 inches and I turn it down to about 1 3/4 inches just so that it is bigger than the body. The neat thing about em is that you can make em any size and shape that you want. They are fun to make.
 
Thank you all for you kind and generous compliments. Birdhouse making really improves my turning skills, as it is almost the same as small box making, As for the birds they are difficult to find in the 1" to 1.25' sizes. Most of the time I can find the 1.25" Mushroom birds at Michael's hobby stores. But, I continiue my quest for some realistic looking Norht American Birds that are small in size to glue on the perches of my BH's. Please share with me and others if you have found a source to for some nice looking small and not to fat birds. Thanks also to those of you who are interested in purchaseing the bright brass wire hangers from me. I am beginning to run low on my inventory of them.
