I've been making some acorn birdhouse ornaments lately to send to relatives for Christmas later on this year. They are about 2 inches long by 1 1/4 inch in diameter at the base of the cap, and the acorn itself is about an inch in diameter. This one is made with a walnut top and an oak bottom. The perch is a 5/64th inch dowel from Michael's and the birds are from Hobby Lobby. My wife liked them and made a little tree to hang them all on as I make them. This one is one of my favorites.....Jim

Awesome - the woods look great together.
* Thanks for the reminder - time to start thinking Christmas presents again.

That is awesome, and it appears to be hollow, or is that paint?

Nice idea and well done
