Series after Series after Series (1)

It Is Easier to Make Six Than One

One chair demands a lot of attention.

I found a set of chairs on the curb one day as I returned from a long walk. The four chairs were made of sturdy oak, stained a dark colour, and the Captain's chair was heavy enough by itself to carry home. And it later demanded a lot of attention.

Working on just one birdhouse does the same at times, and I learned by experience that birdhouses feel easier to make if I make 4, 6, 8 or more at a time.

For the sake of having a variety of houses on hand I would follow a white pine series with a red cedar series, then move on to log cabins or small wren houses, etc.

For the sake of variety:


 A well-used house on my front porch

 Time for a new batch of white pine houses



 Three rustic houses on my back deck







 Lots of trim needed for lots of birdhouse











Time for another series
