Recycled wood birdhouse

My friend and I decided to build a whimsy birdhouse one day and this is the place so far. The front, back and bottom are made with a cedar plank from an old garden planter. It was cleaned then ran through a planer that we have. The roof was made with the redwood lattice that was cut out of yurt to put in windows. The lattice was cut apart the cut into 1/2" strips that were then cut into 1/4" thick pieces. Last but not least the door and window frame were made from old dowels 1/4" dowels that were cut in half. 
It is not water proof but is going to be hung under our homes eaves. 
I love the way it is coming out.
