Homemade perches!

[kellie]

Hey guys! My dad and I are making some beautiful handmade perches and stands for Lukah out of ponderosa pine and one with bamboo (it's a safe wood, I checked). Two of the stands we put into the oven at 250 for 30 minutes. The third is way too large for any oven so I scrubbed it down with a bleach and water mixture and then let it sit for 20 minutes and then rinsed it. I won't let him on it or near it till the bleach evaporates (I think this takes 24 hours?)

Anyway I wanted to check I did everything right! If you guys have any comments or advice please let me know!

Oh this sounds like such a good idea! Ill have to look up a list of safe wood. Did you just use branches off a tree?

We used a small trunk and bamboo sticks for the one on a base of a sliced trunk and the other is roots from a tree. It's so cool. I am trying to post pictures but it won't let me!
