Construct a solid walnut base cabinet to house the primary seed reservoir. Carefully carve a circular opening on the top panel to provide a stable mounting point for the vertical support neck.

Shape a tapered mahogany neck that curves upward to hold the heavy brass horn. Ensure the internal channel is smooth to prevent seed clogs and provides a gravity-fed flow directly into the center of the hopper.

Fashion a wide-mouthed flared horn using segments of polished brass sheet metal or a salvaged vintage component. Attach the horn to the neck assembly with industrial-grade brass hardware to ensure it stands up to outdoor exposure.

Apply a high-quality marine-grade spar varnish to all wooden surfaces for long-term weather resistance. Install a hinged side panel on the base cabinet to allow for easy cleaning and refilling of the inner seed bin.
