STATEMENT OF QUALITY – all of our handmade wooden bird feeders are made with the highest degree of quality, and built to last for a very long time. When we build our bird feeders, anywhere 2 pieces of wood are joined together (where it is physically possible to do so), the pieces are not only glued together with the strongest bonding exterior wood glue, but they are also screwed together with exterior (rust resistant) wood screws. We always pre-drill holes in our products before installing wood screws, so as to prevent wood splitting. In some cases we use self-drilling wood screws, which also prevent wood splitting. Our process of ‘double joining’ (gluing and screwing) all the wooden joints of our products provides for the strongest, most durable, most stable, longest lasting products available. Our products are never nailed together, because nails rust, pull out of the wood, cause wood to split, and are much weaker and far less stable than screws. Additionally, all of the exterior wooden surfaces of our bird feeders are generously treated with a high quality wood sealant and protectant, which makes them highly weather resistant. All of these examples of the processes and procedures we use in building our premium bird feeders will be sure to make them last for a very long time.
