He will really enjoy it. Glad I found it, like the idea of brass screws.

I just had to cut + sand the sticks, and bake them in the oven at 350 for 10 minutes to kill anything that might be on them. It worked great and it felt great to build something from nature. This would be great for anyone that has birds or reptiles.

I am 65 and been around and this kind of excited me. Thanks. The child in me gets easily entertained I suppose. thanks again and Semper Fidelis.

I would recommend NOT using some conifers — too sappy. Cedar seems to be fine (so far). As far as bark goes, it really depends on the species. I have hooks with bark on them that are over ten years old and aren’t peeling.

Feel free to varnish or stain…

Great idea!

I would strip the bark and stain the wood. (food for thought)
