 Few woodworking projects are as popular and easy as building a birdhouse - and with just a dollop of creativity, plus this book, it’s simple to turn it into an amazing avian architectural wonder.

The birds can move right into a classic Victorian, exotic Casbah, A-frame cedar chalet, or bright bold blue home. The 20 projects also include techniques for special finishes such as stenciling and decoupage, along with informative sidebars. » Buy the Book |
