Book Reviews of The Ultimate Birdhouse Book: 40 Functional, Fantastic & Fanciful Homes to Make for Our Feathered Friends
Book Review: Change of Pace!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have purchased several birdhouse books and have been mostly disapointed with dull clunky outdated designs that are just down right ugly. This book is fresh air with fresh modern designs that are fun for the builder not just the bird! If you just want a birdhouse of clunky 1 inch stock painted in eyesore babyblue dont buy this book. This is a fun easy to build birdhouse book for the discriminating creative birdhouse builder.
Summary of The Ultimate Birdhouse Book: 40 Functional, Fantastic & Fanciful Homes to Make for Our Feathered Friends
Make a Bluebird Cathedral, a Frank Lloyd Wright Wren House, an 1840s Tobacco Barn, a Victorian Flicker House--and more. Plus, use birdhouse designs as other items around the house, including a CD cabinet based on an Egyptian-themed birdhouse; a gilded grape-and-pear-motif birdhouse that's really a floor lamp; or a beautiful ex-birdhouse Distressed Double-Decker Clock. Try several versions of a simple wren house, each contributed by a top designer who started with the same basic design and created his or her own special styles.Many of us have tried at one time in our lives to construct some kind of rudimentary birdhouse, or at least imagined doing so, whether we ever actually saw the thing through to completion and had feathered residents move in. For everyone who has even a slight interest in the idea, this book will surprise and delight. From the most basic box to some extraordinarily elaborate constructions, the sheer variety and inventiveness of some of the designs described in hundreds of full-color photographs will provide lively inspiration. And once inspired, the detailed plans and instructions will get the reader started with the right tools and materials. One is tempted to say, "This book is for the birds," but the fact is, many of these designs are so artful and attractive that they would be completely at home on a mantle or on a desktop as artwork and might never find themselves in the great outdoors housing our fine feathered friends. Perhaps not every bird would fully appreciate the whimsy and art of some of these birdhouses, but the reader certainly will. --Mark A. Hetts
