Acorn Birdhouse

Post by OldDog »

Once upon a time I had a plan to turn out a birdhouse on the lathe an acorn shaped birdhouse. It was made of laminated pieces of 2x6 or 2x8 pine. It was made so by removing 2 screws it could be opened by taking off the top and cleaning. Can anyone tell me where I could get these plans?
Thank You OldDog :o

Google "acorn birdhouse plans". You will get several hits - so perhaps the one you're looking for is there.

sounds like the article in Wood, April 1989, Page 70, except it uses 2x10 stock.
