****This installment of the Process/Inspiration Series comes to us by way of San Francisco from from Jeff
Canham . Over the past couple of months Jeff and Luke Bartels have been working on a group of bird houses for their upcoming show, For the Birds at The Curiosity Shoppe which opens on April 9th. Jeff and Luke share with us step by step the process of building the birdhouses. Between Luke's wood working skills and Jeff's sign painting finessing the detail is amazing and hilarious!
