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

My Dad's Hobby! Empty Bird tables for sale?

Post by Lozzy2k Mon Apr 14 2014, 22:02

Hi there,

I found this post whilst searching for a bird table planter mixed product online.

Is your dad still making these and would he be interested in making one for me and shipping it?

If so what would it cost for the table and planter mixed, and would it be possible to have it in a lighter wood?

Thanks

The original post was from a long time ago and they may not still be around on the forum, gorgeous looking work though.
