The Workshop: Birdhouses on the brain

What can one do with narrow strips of wood?

Maybe come up with a new birdhouse design?

Six like these needed linseed oil recently, just for a bit more colour.

Now they are done in time for Christmas.

All I have left to do before Christmas morning arrives is knit 6 stockings big enough to hold them. But time is short.


Old hockey socks will have to do!

So, Merry Christmas.


And if you get a birdhouse stuffed inside an old hockey sock, sorry about the funny smell.

I’ll do laundry on Boxing Day!
