Weather-Vane Clock Tower Seed Cupola

Construct the square main tower using miter-jointed cedar planks to ensure long-term weather resistance. Cut four circular openings into the sides to house the clock face windows where birds can easily access the grain.

Fashion a steep, four-sided pyramid roof topped with a handcrafted copper weather vane that pivots on a stainless steel rod. Use marine-grade adhesive to seal the roof peak to prevent moisture from entering the seed hopper.

Install internal diagonal baffles that funnel birdseed toward the four side openings, ensuring the reservoir remains full for longer periods. Line the floor of each opening with small perch dowels turned from contrasting black walnut.

Apply a weather-resistant exterior wood oil and paint the clock faces with non-toxic, lead-free markers for visual detail. Mount the completed tower on a central post using a decorative wrought-iron bracket to provide stability against high winds.
