Miniature bird houses are great little projects!  Most are made with wood scraps laying around the shop and they don’t take all that much time to create.  The designs are nearly endless for what you can make.  I’ve given many of these away as little gifts, but have kept quite few to hang across the mantle in the breakfast nook in our house.  My daughters sold a collection of these at a craft fair to raise money for a college trip to Europe and I was amazed at how many people bought them because of the color of the little bird that was added to the turning.  Go figure…
