Rustic Barn Birdhouse #2 Wood Plan Pattern

You make it from tin cans and weathered wood salvaged from old shipping pallets. Then you make it look old using the easy techniques included on our full-size patterns. Everyone that sees this unique rustic birdhouse will want one--so be prepared to make a few extra!

Our clever Birdhouse features a covered side area for bird feed and room for four lucky Bird families. The front and back center panels remove for easy clean out. (14" tall)
