A woodworking project idea for my granddaughters this summer

Posted By on July 12, 2026

Each year when our granddaughters come to visit for a week, I try to do something in the woodworking workshop that keeps them interested in working with tools (and with their Bompa, although now that they are older, suspect that name will disappear). 😉  

Squirrel Picnic Table Ideas

Katelyn gave me the idea of a “squirrel picnic table” a few months ago — excellent. So I’ve been collection a few photos and contemplating a way to use some Oostra Oak and the girl’s level of patience and skill order to accomplish this. They seem to enjoy their outdoor birdhouses, feeders, birdwatching, etc – although I’m sure their mom and dad have a lot to do with that – and so this might be a great small project come rain or shine this August?
