Join home improvement pro Chris Peterson as he shares a variety of
creative designs for birdhouses and bird feeders, from the classic
bluebird house to a mid-century modern home. While all the designs are
handsome, most are also approachable for beginning woodworkers.
Squares, triangles, and simple joining are used throughout the book.
For woodworkers with some experience, Peterson shares a variety of
customization techniques that can enhance the designs.
Every project contains a showstopping photo of the finished house and
step-by-step instructions (with additional photos) to take any
guesswork out of the assembly. You'll also find mounting instructions
and tips, as well as information on the types of birds each birdhouse
can accommodate.
