![[Laser cut and engrave] Laser Cut Wooden Birdhouse with Floral Engraving on Post](https://storage-us.atomm.com/resource/xtool/community/attachment/xtool-community/dae9ff4b-d7ee-40c1-bed7-e14b621ee2a1.png?x-oss-process=image/resize,w_1200,h_900,limit_0/interlace,1/format,webp/auto-orient,1)


My mother-in-law loves birds, so when I saw the "make a pet house" that was my first thought (As I upload, I see that I am not alone). This is a simple birdhouse based on the Atomm Craft Lab Village Homes.

I downloaded an appropriately sized “village home” from Atomm's Craft Lab that I liked. In XCS, I made some edits including changing the “door” to a standard birdhouse circle and removed a few “windows” I didn't like.
I then added engraved decorations that I thought would look good.
Alternatively: Download file and update settings for your machine and material. Cut.

I laid out the pieces and applied glue to the edges/between the teeth of the edges. Allow to dry. If putting outside, add some type of animal safe lacquer to protect from the elements.
