Still a w.i.p but getting there. It was my original intention to put 3/4" wood for the roof and then slate on top, but I think I'm just going to do slate instead, and forgo the wood.
I also decided not to put a perch. I read that predators like to use it, and just stick there head into the birdhouse. Of course, this bird would have to have a pretty long neck for this birdhouse.
I really don't know much about birds, so if anyone has any comments or suggestions please let me know.

I've seen some beautiful thatched roofs before, but I never heard of thatched finials.
The Dodson Brothers create some impressive works of art.

I follow Fine Homebuilding on Facebook, and occasionally come across some good information.
Yesterday, they had a post about Flared Cedar Shingles, which will really come in handy when I redo the shingles on the top half of my house.
I really love the look.

After having this oak frame in my shed for some 15 years, I finally printed something for it and got the glass for it. I think it turned out pretty nice.
It was printed on an Epson P9000 using Epson Cold Press Natural paper.
The image was downloaded for free using the New York Public Library Digital Collection.
