Reinbarnation by Roger Dinger - Bird Houses

Spotlight on Roger:

In Roger's words: I see beauty and functional potential in old barn wood. Part of my artistic niche is an appreciation and preservation of the time-weathered, history- imbued patina of very old barn wood. My furniture is designed and constructed to be used; it is not just art, it is functional. Barn wood is a good match for people with a comfortable and informal lifestyle. I also feel good about creating something new and useful out of a material that would otherwise be burned or taken to a landfill. Time has been working for me: sun, wind, rain and snow have affected the wood for many years. With Reinbarnation, it’s almost as if I were capturing time.

Description:

1) Temple bird feeder

This “Temple” Bird Feeder is made with reclaimed barnwood from an 1850’s corn crib located in Crutchfield Crossroads, Chatham County, NC. The wood is oak, naturally weathered by the elements for over 150 years. The roof is old tin reclaimed from the same building. Designed to be hung from a porch or roof overhang, an old chain link adorns the eye hook to add authentic rustic charm. A 36-inch long black chain is included for hanging. An original design, signed by the artist. Dimensions: 12” tall x 10” x 12”.

Priced At: $108.00

2) Double A-frame Bird feeder

This open-view double A-frame bird feeder is made with reclaimed barnwood from a salt-curing shed located in Silk Hope, Chatham County, NC. The pine has been planed and sealed with boiled linseed oil to reveal hidden color in the aged wood. The roof is old barn tin, and the hanging hook was reclaimed from the cure shed. The A-frame structure allows for wide fly-through space, enhancing your bird viewing. A 36-inch long black chain is included for hanging. An original design, signed by the artist. Dimensions: 16” tall x 10” x 13”.

Priced At: $123.00

3) Bluebird house

Invite bluebirds to your yard with this cleverly designed birdhouse. Sized to accommodate Eastern Bluebirds, this bird home mounts easily on top of a standard 4” post with the three pre-drilled screws provided. The floor has ventilation slots and the front door swings out for cleaning between nestings. Made with reclaimed barnwood from a salt-curing shed located in Silk Hope, Chatham County, NC. The exterior sides of the pine boards have been planed and sealed with boiled linseed oil; the interior is left rough so the young birds can more easily climb out when they are ready to leave the nest. The roof and stars are recycled barn tin. An original design, signed by the artist. Dimensions: 16” tall x 8” x 8”.
