My wife, Patty enjoys watching the bird out the window from her recliner. I made this fence post bird feeder for her. I used soft maple, walnut, and a mystery wood I had around. The pattern calls for 1/2" thick and 1/4" thick wood.
The feeder is just over 10" tall. The post on the back is 13" long.
The food tray is 6 1/2" wide and 5" deep. I think I will place a glass bowl in the tray for the feed.
I used Titebond III, waterproof glue. I finished the feeder with several coats of clear spray finish designed for outdoor use with UV protection.
I added the post on the back to make it easier to screw to the fence post.
Just a note:
