Round Birdhouse
Build a unique round birdhouse with this easy DIY woodworking plan. No lathe needed — includes design options and metal roof variations.
Create a charming, eye-catching addition to your yard with this Round Birdhouse woodworking plan — no lathe required! At first glance, this birdhouse may look like a turned wood project, but it’s actually built using beveled wood strips that are joined and rolled into a perfect cylinder. This clever technique makes it accessible to woodworkers of all skill levels, with no specialized turning tools needed.
The plan includes multiple design options, allowing you to customize your birdhouse with classic or country-style features. You can choose from different roof materials, like galvanized sheet metal or copper, to give your project a rustic or elegant finish. Best of all, working with sheet metal is straightforward and only requires basic tools, like a pair of tin snips.
This project is perfect for anyone looking to try something a little different in the shop. With step-by-step instructions and a smart, approachable design, this round birdhouse is both fun to build and beautiful to display. Ideal for backyard birding, garden décor, or as a thoughtful handmade gift.
