Japanese style bird table
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
I made this bird table for my daughter after she saw the birds in my garden and said how nice it was to see all the birds feeding. When I started this project I didn't have any plans to follow. I just looked at lots and lots of Japanese style pictures of bird tables so that I could build up a picture of how I wanted it to look. I then set about making a full size 3D template from card which I stuck together with tape. I was able to make adjustments to the size and then measure the angles and when I was happy with the size I dismantled the template and used it to cut out the various sections. I used English Oak for the curves and cedar for the roof. I used a combination of dowels and biscuit joints to hold it together and weatherproofed the undersides of the roof with silicon sealant. Finally I gave the bird table four coats of Protek's wood seal and protect to complete the project.
