Built 12/12/2011 27. Ress Pig FarmThis is the story of how my birdhouses came about. One fall day in 1992, I was hiking through the hills ofSonoma County and while standing beneath a giant grove of redwood trees I was looking up in amazement at justhow magnificent these trees are. I then looked down and spotted an old piece of barn wood. Looking up againholding this piece of lumber in my hand I realized just how beautiful this wood was. With ideas running throughmy head, and a single piece of lumber in the bed of my truck, I headed toward home thinking of different ways Icould use it. I ended up building a box that holds my BBQ tools thats still in use today. At Christmas time, I decided I would make gifts to give out of this old barn wood. I needed more wood tocreate these gifts, and as fate would have it, my first stop I came across the dilapidated remains of what was oncethe largest pig farm in Sonoma County and was welcomed to it. Bingo, all the old redwood barn wood I could use! For years my creations were built from this one source. Many giant redwood trees were cut down in the early1900s, to help turn Sonoma County into the chicken capital of the world. I regretted seeing all this old growthredwood go to waste after the barns collapse, and glad that I was able to create so much art from it.Creating these one-of-a-kind birdhouses and bird feeders is magical. I love to build whimsical miniatures ofhistorical buildings that are fully functioning feeders, nesting boxes, or both! I prefer not to mass-produce mybirdhouses in order to keep them unique, and sign and date my creations. By recycling this old redwood, Im excited to be preserving a part of Sonoma County history.
