I’m gonna grow into a big boy!

 

 

There’s just one command

I won’t understand

Victorian House Bird Feeders

There’s been quite a building boom going on here at C McDonough Designs.  I received  a commission to build one of my Victorian House bird feeders with a bright turquoise roof, porch and shutters and yellow/green windows.

As any potter will tell you never make just one!!!  There are three reasons for this rule.

2: If it’s a tall item, you’ll need other tall items to fill the shelf.

 

3: You will eventually sell another one so be prepared!!
