Extreme Birdhouses

Hi everyone i am john from Cranbrook Ontario.
I build extreme birdhouses out of reclaimed barn wood.

I am usually in the woodworking section on here and i thought id post some pictures here since they are for the birds. lol
Here is a link to some of my work.

This is my most recent birdhouse.
It is made from 70 yr old barn wood.
This birdhouse is 6 ft high and has almost 70 apartments.

For some reason it wont let me post a picture

Hmmm, thats weird. Maybe their working on the new server??

I,ll try again

hey it worked .

OMG, Thats magnificent! Thanks for sharing it with us!

Awesome - honestly, I can't think of any appropriate words! How long did it take you to build it?

Thank you Murmur
This birdhouse took me 2 weeks to build.

LOL - I would have guessed two years!! Have you had any of your birdhouses in Birds & Bloom?

I love Birds and Blooms!

Very nice.

Thank you everyone
I sent some pictures to birds and bloom but i haven,t heard anything back yet.
I have posted some of my birdhouses there before.

Any pics of some of them 'in use'? What birds are they made for, I guess it would be colonial species? Tree Swallows? Purple Martins?

Hi Resin
I have a lot of pictures with birds nesting.
I do purple martins too but mostly sparrows and swallows nesting in the larger houses..

Hi Cranbrook. I've admired your birdhouses in the woodworking forum. I hope you don't mind if I post a picture of what I thought was also an extreme birdhouse.

Cranbook, incredible!!!! And fun to see them in use.

Claypa, I agree . . . that is indeed extreme . . . love it!
