Funky Birdhouse 1

Curved Roof Condo


A couple of weeks ago I sketched a few birdhouse designs that incorporated a curved roof. The size of the main body* was easy to imagine but I don't know how the curved roof will work out.

["Trim incorporates curves as well"]

["Quite a difference compared to usual designs"]

["I traced a roll of tape to get the curved face"]

Once the paint is dry I will attach narrow roof slats w angled edges. Should be a fussy job w some experimentation. Good thing I have a Happy Hour scheduled at 5 PM! Some re-evaluation will likely be in order by then.
