Hollow Logs

[craig23]

Hi everyone..

Does anyone know a place to get ahold of hollow logs and the likes in the SYD area... and I dont mean paying over $100 for a 3ft log from a petshop...

More than happy to pay resonable prices if someone has some out in their yard, or if anyone knows any nurseries that sell them or bird breeders would be great, I only need 2-4 nice 2-3ft logs, with hollows of 5-10cm Diameter.

Cheers.

Most fire wood yards will have them.
My local yard used to put them aside for me.
Id pay $100 for 20 hollows.

I would chisel them out a bit more, cut a hole in the side and wack a lid on.
They made great hides / snake kennels.

Do you sell those?

I used to, but no longer have the time anymore.
It would take up a hole weekend making 20 to 30 of them.

I should do another lot though, as Id make $35 profit on each one.
Thats $700 if I knock up 20

As mentioned try wood yards, but you could also try an arborist/tree lopper they may be able to help
