Create a charming wooden apple feeder that attracts garden birds and adds a handcrafted touch to your outdoor space. These step-by-step digital woodworking plans are designed to be clear, accessible, and enjoyable — perfect for beginners, families, schools, or anyone who loves making things by hand.
Developed by Oak & Black, these plans follow the same approach we use in workshops and schools across the UK: practical skills, clear visuals, and a finished product you’ll be proud of.
We purposefully do not show the painting of the products as we wish this to be personal to each creator - post your creations on social media and tag @oakandblack so we can share your work!
