We’ll probably never see this thing installed so we thought we’d set it up in the workshop. You’ll just have to imagine the background as a magical wonderland! - - #playground #wonderland #chainsawcarving #naturalplayground #mushrooms #wooden

It’s strange how projects morph from one thing to another. This started as a classic stream engine pulling carriages containing various common Swedish animals. How we ended up with a subway train with ducks and fish riding atop of it we can’t quite remember…? - - #train #tunnelbanan #chainsawcarving #animalcarving #parks #playground #duck

Another day another mulmholk. We didn’t really have to do much to this one. It’s an old and beautiful stump that was felled somewhere for some unknown reason. All we had to do was attach a base to it and stand it in a new home where it will hopefully continue to do its thing…

Freyja’s throne. Right next door to Odin’s throne in Nobelpark park. Apparently she had two cats that pulled her war chariot and a falcon that flew around with her. - - #freyja #norsemythology #throne #woodcarving #chainsawcarving #falcon #cats #lynx #nobelpark #stockholm

We don’t really do mass production at Ravenwood, but we thought we would give it a go. Twenty “rustic” larch stools. All we need now is twenty bottoms to sit on them. - - #larch #larchfurniture #stool #rusticcarpentry

Another day, another mulmholk. Hedgehog boxes are now fitted to the bottom of our mulmholks as standard. Those spikey wee critters need all the help they can get right now! We also visited an old mulmholk we installed a few years ago and we’re thrilled to find it buzzing with hornets. - - #hornet #mulmholk…

Out with the old and In with the new. A quick little Monday job. Removing these old rotten logs in this seating ring next to a playground in Vällingby and replacing them with lovely shiny new ones. In true Ravenwood style, the wonderfully rotten logs found a new home in a nearby patch of woodland…

Attention all arborists and tree workers. It takes a long time and for the forces of nature to hollow out a tree stem. Cavities and hollow stems are super important real estate in the wild world. At Ravenwood we collect all the hallows logs we can. The smaller ones we turn into bird and bat…

Sometimes it can be really difficult to negotiate a very shallow ditch with gently sloping sides when out for a nature ramble. If you work at Ravenwood however, it’s often far easier to simply build a beautiful oak bridge. Problem solved. - - #bridge #oakforest #woodenbridge #park #buildingbridges

We’ve been building a lot of giant habitat stacks this week. We thought we would try and experiment with adding some hidden hedgehog and bird boxes. Hopefully they will provide some super safe and cozy accommodation. - - #birdbox #hedgehogs #habitatstack #faunadepot #homesfornature #naturecare #naturvård

If you ever feel like having a nice old fashioned sit down in one of Stockholm’s best oak parks then we can highly recommend sitting on our new acorn and oak leaf bench in Listudden. It’s great!!! - - #listudden #oakforest #oakbench #fikapaus #beoutdoors
