Gothic Birdhouse Design

This balsa-wood gothic birdhouse all in all designed and carved by me. The elements like Spires, flying buttresses, ribs, lancet archs etc. are all surely the inspirational points of Gothic architecture here. But besides these i've also added my eclectic point of view too. I only used utility knife throughout the whole process by doin it fits and starts in my free time. hope you liked it ;)

ohh, also, did you end up putting any sort of teak-oil or spar-urethane of any sort on it before placing it outside?

wellum, since the material I've used is not really a firm one, I'll probably go with the yacht lacquer as a final touch. because I cant leave it to an outdoor space by only putting teakoil or something may ooze away in time. besides, balsa is veeery soft, birds may crumble into pieces as they can peck the wood. yacht lacquer possibly will do it since it'll form a firm coat.

That's some awesome work there. I take it that it's your own design. Well done!

Dang birds live better than I do !!!!!! IT's really nice but how about a few more instructions on how you built it, this is "INSTRUCTABLES". Thanks !!

If the staff of instructables believed in that logic, there would be no option to post ONLY pictures. I do encourage people to post an instructable, but it is not vital to sharing a project.

I believe in "Don't just show off, show HOW! " As a Pro member of Instructables I have a right to express that as a polite request for more info. If you don't want to provide more info that's your right. Pictures only is fine with me as long as they convey the info. PEACE DUDE!
