I like that. I've got so much wood in log form that I might have to have a go. Thanks :thumbs:

Better still, Hound, why don't you put it out in the Spring for the blue tits to nest in? Hard to tell how big it is from the pics but tits don't need too big a one.

Bit small Bob, the whole thing is about 3 1/2 inches x 1 3/8 inches and the hollowed bit is only 1and 1/16 ins may make a large on for the birds!
