As a carpenter of 20 plus years I can assure you I never aspired to make bird feeders. Nor did I ever think I could compete with cheaply made ones made in the third world.
But the same with the scoops, when making things, this time with reclaimed pine, I end up with lots of small bits. The tree put some sort of effort into growing that, so I think it's only fair I try to use it all.
That's where these bird feeders come in. Not only do they use the small bits of pine, they also use up the small strips of mesh I end up with when making my baskets.
Hopefully what I've created is an eco friendly product that helps nature and at £9.50 is still fairly affordable for a present.
I have also made a larger bird feeder - this one came about because I couldn't believe there weren't giant bird feeders out there! I hate filling ours up, so I a big one just seemed like a good idea. 
This one is a bit of a monster and will hold a few KG of peanuts I imagine. Ideal for anyone keen on birds!
