Its For the Birds

South Beach, OR

"It's For the Birds" crafter Mel Beachell creates about 100 or so birdhouses every winter in his garage. He has been doing for about 20 years. The birdhouses are made from hand split old growth cedar. They are Mel's own design and construction, each one unique and different.

Why does he do it? He says, "To get away from the 'honey do' list when its raining, and it’s a nice clean hobby." This year he has a beautiful line of bird feeders, bird houses, condos, and lighthouses in many combinations, plus free pine cones for kids. He sells them at the farmers market each season until they are gone, so don't wait too long!
