Made these 10-sided bird houses with left-over project wood. Planed pine to 1/2" thickness on the SS Woodplaner, then ripped it into 1-1/2" strips with the table saw blade set at 18 degrees. Then cut strips at 6" length on the radial arm. The shorter bird house was made from left over cuts. 4x4" masonite top and bottoms with 5/16" dowels used as rest. Hole is 1-1/8". Painted with acyrilic paint and finished with poly varnish.
