Construct the base and internal supports from sturdy, weather-resistant wood like cedar or redwood. The foundation should be stable enough to support the conical structure and provide ample feeding space within.

Form the conical walls by carefully shaping and joining wooden slats or natural branches. Ensure there are small openings for birds to access the seed, mimicking the entrance of a traditional Hogan.

Create a simple, removable roof cap, perhaps from bark or a carefully carved wooden piece, to protect the seed from the elements. This also allows for easy refilling of the feeder.

Add decorative elements inspired by Navajo art, such as subtle carved patterns or a natural earth-toned stain. Consider incorporating a small perch near the entrance, made from a twig or branch.
