Me and my daughter just talked about the sticks configuration and we didn't like both.
I"ll try another aproach asap

 

[Nature Man]

Today I did some more steps.
The nest itself is forming.
My daughter will choose the better configuration for the sticks at nest...square or like a star.
I just glued some parts and soon "ll stil working.

Like a pencil point

Good start, but it looked like you were building a campfire! Also, the excess extruding glue is a distraction. Chuck

I changed the nest and use the sticks for made a deck.
At deck I"ll add a bird feeder (fake) using contrast wood.Clear down and dark at cover.
I have a piece of Brazilian Rosewood. It was an old door jamb.
When I talked about ideas my daughter loved both...so I'm making both for her bedroom and another place at home.

The idea
Nest idea Rosewood jamb I cutted a piece...the holes soon Coconut File Will be like this I am sanding and cleaning the case

I'll do round edges at feeder.

Brass nail No head.Perch stick at nail soon. That point mark is ugly

The nest is ready too.It was very intersting and nice because when me and my daughter didn't like the first version many here didn't either.
No comparsion the coconut shell and that first firecamp frame.

Just clean using wire brush
Shine after wire brush Varnish No modesty...I loved

Bingo! Great solution!

Because I already had the sticks cutted at short lenght I used they as a deck for birds too.
I"ll dry (using hot blower gun) the branch ,clean and apply a coat of varnish and use it too.
