CC,

If you were looking for an excuse to purchase new tools, this is a great one! If I had a source for some barn board now, I’d probably make some myself.

Good luck with your projects and don’t hesitate to send pics when you’re done!

Thank you,

Cathy

OMG these are just beautiful. I love that they are recycled and have a story. Here in Australia they don’t seem to be doing this, but as I have a 70 year old ’shed’ which needs to be pulled down, I have decided to have a go and build some birdhouses. I have found many patterns on the net and have purchased some new tools. I hope my birdhouses will become family treasures, as I intend to give them to my nieces and newphews as gifts.

Hi Maureen,

I’m so glad you like my barnboard birdhouses and I think making birdhouses from the barnboard of your old shed/workshop is a fabulous idea! In a way those birdhouses will be family heirlooms. I’ll do some checking around for you and see what I can come up with in the way of plans. Will let you know.

Hi: I really enjoyed viewing your barnboard birdhouse display. My husband and I bought my family farm 15 years ago. It has been in my family for 4 generations. There is a shed/workshop that my grandfather used as a garage and my father as his workshop. It is in very rough shape and needs to be taken down. I don’t want it to be forgotten, so I had the idea of making everyone in my family(7 of us) a birdhouse from the 100+ year old barnboards. I would love to get some patterns for different sizes and styles. Would you happen to have any ideas? I would love to hear from you.
Thanks
Maureen
