Darrell recently posted his method for making mini birdhouses on WC. I
do essentially the same thing, but I hope he will post his method and
comments here.

I made an aluminum jig that I think speeded up turning repeated batches
of the body by one step, tho it limited the hollowed dimension to one
size. Nothing more than a short 7/16 in. long X 5/8 in. dia. scored
tenon on a #2MT taper for driving the drilled out body.

Slob that I am, I have made batches of mini birdhouses from solid light
weight timbers such as cedar, even from fir stud cut offs. I'm watching
out for the hollowing police!
