Build This Rustic Log Cabin Style Bird Feeder With Just One Cedar Fence Picket
A fun little cedar fence picket project with rustic charm, real workshop photos, and a finished feeder that looks right at home in a peaceful backyard.
Start here
This bird feeder has the same cozy, handmade feel as the birdhouse build, but it gives you a practical little project you can hang outside and enjoy right away.
We kept this page simple and visual so you can follow the build in the same natural order it happened: a couple fun workshop shots, the cut sequence, the assembly flow, and the finished result.
