Construct the hexagonal tower using cedar planks, carefully beveling the edges to ensure a tight, weather-resistant fit. Use a tapering jig on your table saw to achieve the classic silhouette of a coastal lighthouse.

Incorporate a wraparound viewing balcony by attaching small cedar brackets and a decorative dowel railing. This provides a natural perch for birds while adding architectural depth to the exterior structure.

Design the lantern room at the top with clear acrylic panels to protect the seed hopper from rain and wind. Install a small, moisture-sealed solar landscape light in the roof peak to act as a beacon, illuminating the clear seed storage area at night.

Apply a marine-grade teak oil finish to protect the wood from harsh outdoor elements while highlighting the grain. Finish the base with a heavy, weather-treated platform to ensure stability even during high winds.
