Rustic Apothecary Drawer Seed Dispenser

Construct the main frame using reclaimed white oak to mimic an old apothecary cabinet. Use miter joints for the corners to ensure a clean, seamless look that highlights the wood grain.

Craft the individual feeding trays to slide out like small drawers, allowing for easy cleaning and refilling. Each drawer front features a decorative brass label holder which serves as a perch for visiting birds.

Install internal slanted baffles made of moisture-resistant plywood to direct the seed flow toward the drawer opening. This prevents clumping and keeps the seed fresh and dry during wet weather.

Apply a natural, food-safe exterior oil finish to protect the wood while maintaining its rustic aesthetic. Attach a rustic metal chain to the top for easy hanging in your garden or on a porch.
