It was worth the effort to hollow the log out instead of screwing several peices together. The chickadees have moved in!
Did house sparrows invade? If so, reduce the entry hole to 1 1/8". Chicadee can enter a hole that small.
@@brianbeidle8520 when the chickadees were done bluebirds moved in. We don't have many sparrows around
very cool.......like
Thanks!
I’ve done a few horizontally. Hardest part is def hollowing it out.
I put one screw in so I can rotate the door (floor in you house) so u can clean it out….
Ive got a few new tricks to try. I don't clean them out. I noticed birds will use old nests.
After you got the 1st part of the hole saw done.. you could have taken some coals and let the burn 🔥 thier way down. That’s the way the Indians cut out logs to make canoes 🛶
I did think about that but I was worried the fire might not burn evenly. Might have to try it now! Thanks
Great job there
Thanks.
Youre welcome!
Use the chain saw to hollow it out
That's the plan for the next one!
Do you make these for people?
I do not. I turn any scrap wood I can into bird houses. They are my pest control bird army
I also use green wood. Each time i try to make a cup,it always cracks after i get the inside dug out.
I guess leaving the bark on would help??
Green wood wants to dry. Green wood will crack easier. It's best to use seasoned wood
It's usually humid here so mine is still doing great. The bluebirds love it
