Hey guys! I just wanted to share some of the beautiful things my Dad makes in his spare time. He's a very talented man!!

A gorgeous 8ft Dovecote! (We've had doves visiting every day!!) Houses 8 pairs of Doves!

A wall mounted Dovecote, houses 3 pairs! (A personal fav!)

A 'grandfather' Bird Table, about 6/7ft, higher than the others, with 2 extra feeding 'platters'!

A unique style Bird Table.

A beautiful Bench with small table

A bird table / planter mix!

And some random ones..

Some very nice stuff! I'm liking the planter/bird feeder combo - that way the birds can spill seeds into the planter and you'll get a nice combo of grasses and sunflowers. Big Grin

Wow, how good are they?

And £45 for a solid wooden bird table? That is SO cheap!

And my next creation will be a wooden staffy silouehette (after ive finished another dovecote Rolling Eyes

) i will post up some pictures of it when its done.
The dovecote takes approx 30hours to do, and the birdtables take about 4 hours.
Keeps me busy and the dogs like to watch Laughing
