Nesting block study model

I constructed a scale model of a nesting bee block using basswood.  The below images show the middle section of each panel which will hold plant material.

In order to drill my holes at an angle, I constructed a small jig to clamp my basswood to while using the drillpress.


The holes were drilled in two layers of basswood so the holes would come together at an angle.


After drilling all of my holes, I glued the layers of wood together to create many voids throughout the structure.
