This is the third birdhouse build I have done in the last month.

This project combined laser cutting for the acrylic rings, and table saw/miter saw cutting for the slats.

I used cedar here for the slats with stain and a tung oil finish. Not a big fan of cedar so far. Crazy the way it sucks up finish. I find finishing work to be quite tedious but is a necessary evil I suppose. Will birds be OK with a clear roof?

Should I swap out the brass screws/caps for stainless or black oxide finish?

The inner sleeve is a 6 inch diameter galvanized duct connector so the house should be snug. There are drain holes in the bottom.

I found the perfect gasket to cover the edges of the sheet metal I cut for the opening. I enjoyed designing and building this and have a couple of more roundy concepts already designed and in the pipeline.
