My husband saved this from a tree that was taken down. One of the things I make is bird houses. I saw this as a good opportunity to reuse a house made by our local woodpecker. The roof is made of pallet wood. The trim is all sticks, seedpods, pine cones, even the nail was pulled from another board! It is in a tree and ready for renters.

Thanks for the post. I have a small tree in my yard with a woodpecker hole, and I though about doing the same thing. The birds build a nest in it every years, so I keep putting off cutting it down. Maybe one day I’ll post my version.

neat. I saved a similar piece off the firewood pile and had no idea what to do with it until just now. Kinda getting into a birdhouse phase right now, Thanks for the inspiration!

A great looking birdhouse!
I read once that to attract a woodpecker, is to stuff it with wood shavings.
They enjoy digging the hole themselves.
Good Luck!
I thought I posted some similar birdhouses. I guess I’ll have to post them.

I get woodpeckers in my yard that look bigger than my dog.. They create major cavities in my trees and I wish that I knew how to repel them
