    My neighbour/builder gave me a long Oak handrail - 3.8 metres; so lots of flattening,
    cutting and measuring to make this bird table
    Roof and splines are Walnut off-cuts which were lying around

    Treated with a mix of Danish Oil, Boiled Linseed Oil and Tung Oil
    Wood, glue and dowels; plus a few biscuits -- No nails, screws or other metal bits !!
    A present for my sister in law
