Zen Tray Feeder
Home improvement pro Chris Peterson designed this bird feeder to add a splash of Japanese style to the backyard. All angles and subtle decorative elements, the feeder follows traditional Zen aesthetic principles of simplicity and asymmetry.
Step-by-step instructions in the book include angle cuts and some bevels easily achieved on a miter saw.
“The feeder is meant to be hung, making it less accessible to hungry food thieves, such as squirrels and raccoons. The screened bottom allows air and moisture to flow through, preventing mold and mess inside the feeder tray.”
