MASONIC VILLAGE Rooster’s Woodshop
The Rooster’s Woodshop is capable of producing custom furnishings and novel items from wood, and members can also perform minor repairs to furniture upon request. Many assorted items are produced by members, and all items on display are for sale.
Their current highlighted project is new bluebird houses. (The bluebirds love them!) Each house is made from 3/4” Red Oak and has a 4-inch square interior with a perforated metal screen laid above the floor for the bird to make its nest. The left side of the house will pivot when the keeper pin is removed. This permits easy clean-out after the chicks have left their nest. The front of the birdhouse has an added “porch.” It has fishline strung, so only the bluebird can access their nest. Mounting holes are located above the roof and below the floor for secure installation to a post. Stop by the showroom to see these and the many other creations produced by members!
The Rooster’s Woodshop showroom is open Monday through Friday, 8 – 11 a.m. and 1 – 3 p.m., and Saturdays, 8 – 11 a.m.
