Dave-G Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Proper upcycling, yes the real edges make a big difference - and less waste too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already made a few similar ones nath . I use 250 mm log ties/ anchors . I'm just about to start an oak one that I promised my mom that I'd make for her before she passed away. My back is hurting just thinking about carrying it up into our woodland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 A good screw for such are those hex headed with the grey finish. I use those for fixing my tree rat flip top feeders to trees because I can also draw them out fairly easily with little damage to the tree.
