Handmade
Materials: cedar, solid color stain, teak oil

Constructed of salvaged, resurfaced clear cedar, the front consists of individual planks that have been edge joined. It has a non-toxic teak oil finish which brings out the natural color spectrum of the timber. The cedar body features a floating roof that soars above the entrance hole and side, and provides a clean structural break from the rest of the dwelling. It has been finished with a muted stone grey, low VOC solid stain for durability, and which allows the natural texture of the cedar to show through.

Suitable for outdoor use or as a great indoor decoration. Also absolutely appropriate as a gift for the friend with modern sensibilities.

If you would prefer a different color on the body of this birdhouse then take a look at the additional color choices of the other houses in the shop, and let us know which you would like.

If you choose to use this as a functional birdhouse it should be cleaned out once per season to make room for the next house guest. To simplify cleaning, the back panel pivots open on concealed hinges. No tools required and clean up is a breeze.

To hang the birdhouse, simply attach the provided philips head screw (a nail would work fine as well) to a desired location (tree, house, pole, etc.) and hang the birdhouse by the hole in the back panel.

Dimensions: 6.5x10.5

The bird house is beautifully made and arrived quickly. A couple issues though: I didn't realize how large the opening under the roof is; I thought it was a shadow in the photo. I'm pretty sure water and snow will get inside. Time will tell how the birds like it. Also, note the bird house is meant to hang, not be mounted on a post like we wanted to do. We bought this to go on a post already in our yard. This house is so small it looked silly on top of a 4x4 post. It turned into a frustrating project looking for thick cedar to use as a platform and improve the appearance. We're not carpenters so now I fear we've ruined the clean lines but the platform does make the house look larger on top of the post. It's not the fault of the maker that we installed it differently than intended though, just something to be aware of.
