Bluetits will nest anywhere! That’s probably one of the reasons they are so successful and common. These two are currently setting up home inside the head of our Pinocchio bird box. - - #bluetit #birdbox #pinochio

Today was Diamond Danny’s last day at Ravenwood. He is moving on to bigger and better things and we wish him all the best luck in the world!!! Our productivity, passion and joy will definitely be taking a sharp down turn but we will struggle on. Here a look back at some of Danny’s highlights.…

After years of scratching around on the ground at the tip looking for sawdust and wood chips to fill our mulmholks, this week we finally got around to building this rather fine storage unit. Not very interesting to the layperson, but to us it’s a minor miracle.

“Support your local sawmill!” So far 2025 seems to be all about milling large cubes for various urban bench projects and a massive order for 300 meters of 20x15cm elm sleepers. This is really putting our backs and our Logosol B1001 to the test. But so far so good. - - #logosol #logosol_portable_sawmills #railwaysleepers #supportyourlocalsawmill…

An interesting fact for any fellow lazy Luddites out there who can’t work out or be bothered to assemble the carriage tracks for your Logosol wide slabber. Yes you can use it like an Alaskan mill!!! It works pretty well. - - #logosol #milling #chainsawmilling

Last year we carved a mama bear and a bunch of bear cubs for a school in Södermalm. They contacted us this year and asked for a big daddy bear and here he is! Why the weird colour we hear you ask? Well, that is just the undercoat paint. Apparently the school kids are going…

“Is it art?” We’ve been asked that a lot over the last few weeks in tantolunden park as we’ve been carving this…..thing. It turns out that we were working on a bit of a main thoroughfare with hundreds of people walking past each day all showing great interest in what we were doing. Everyone seemed…

This giant whooper swan carving is ready to migrate to a lake in Nacka. Let’s hope the real swans that live there don’t freak out and try to either fight it or,,, mate with it. - - #swan #whooperswan #woodcarving #chainsawcarving #birdcarving #birdsculpture

Another day, another experiment. It’s hedgehog day today. Newly red listed, these little critters need a bit of help so we’ve been working on these hedgehog “igloos”. Cut from a single log with a long entrance tunnel and a side nesting chamber stuffed with some lovely curly sawdust and dried leaves then buried under a…

This seemingly uninteresting bird box is actually pretty special. Here at Ravenwood we like to experiment a lot. This is our screw-free bird box. It doesn’t even need screws to install on to the tree. This means that in many years from now when it eventually rots away, it will leave no metal laying around…

Mulmholks/habit stumps on kungsholmen. One with a hedgehog box, but more probably rat box in the base and one with a bird box, but more probably wasp nest box at the top.
