This is a pedestal I made for my wife's fancy birdhouse. It is made of poplar, and nothing fancy, but it does the job and looks nice. It made my wife happy and that is always a good thing.
So true joein10asee, but that birdhouse is a work of art and my wife would never put it outside. I look at the pedestal the same way I look at a picture frame it is so you can display it inside.
