This was a fun book to look through for birdhouse inspiration but since it was published way back in 1991, I think some of the information is outdated. The projects range for very woodsy and natural to modern and even kitschy. Most of the finished pieces look very well crafted. Lots of color photographs and clear diagrams for building.
