Birdhouse

Built like a cabin, log by log, with a shingled roof laid one piece at a time. The porch is the part people notice.

Stain — pick one

The four above are the finishes I keep. Anything else I can do — it may carry an upcharge, and I'll tell you what it is before you pay.

Engraving (optional)

Names, farms, families, dates. Send me the wording and any picture you're working from — I draw it first, and I price it when I've seen it. A single word and a full scene aren't the same job.

Anything else you want done to it

Custom work is $45 an hour plus materials at cost + 25%, with half down. If what you've written changes the price, I tell you the number first — nothing gets charged you haven't agreed to.

What it is

Every log on this is cut and set individually. So is every shingle on the roof. That's why it costs what it costs and why it takes the evenings it takes — there's no shortcut that still looks like this at the end.

The porch is the detail people pick it up for. It has a floor, posts and a rail, all of it at cabin scale.

It's a birdhouse that mostly ends up indoors on a shelf, and I understand why. If you do want it outside, tell me and I'll finish it for weather.

Not quite it?

Tell me what you actually want.

If the size isn't listed, the finish isn't one I stock, or you want something that isn't on this page at all — send me the details. There's a sketch pad on that page too, so you can draw it if it's easier than describing it.
