Default Bird magnets
Here are some chickadee and nuthatch magnets I made for x-mas gifts. They are made from 1/4 in thick basswood and are about 2 1/2 in long. I found them to be a quick and easy carve for a small gift. The patterns are in past issues of WCI.

Nice work Joe! I like both of them. I did the Chickadees for everyday cards last year. You've given me and idea with the Nuthatches. I've done Goldfinches and Robins, Cardinels and Blue Jays, but not Nuthatches.

Thanks for looking at these little birds. Eddy, I've done both of these in past years and was too lazy to find a pattern for something new this year. Didn't think about a goldfinch though.

Joe... If you're interested send me a PM with your actual email address and I'll send you my project sheet with the pattern that I used for the Goldfinch. Blue Jay too, if you want it.
