I finished this on Monday and am very happy!!! It took me over 6 years to finish it (but it languished as a WiP for more than 5 of those years). I picked it
up for TWOctober with the 2 top panels finished and the rest went very quickly
 Here it is, followed by some close-ups:

Thanks everyone
I was worried about putting all the close-ups in the post, but you all seem to like them, so I'll stop worrying
I really enjoyed working on this one because we get all these birds coming to our birdfeeders (except the house wren and bluebird). But, my grandpa used to have bluebird birdhouses up on his farm and we would get to see them when we went out to visit him and grandma, so it brings back lovely memories for me, too.

Looks great! And thanks for the close ups! I've been meaning to do this one for my dad for years and the close ups are very motivating ;)

Congratulations on your finish. It is beautiful. Are you going to finish it as a bell Pull or have it framed?
