The Hollowhog is a unique wood carving tool (designed and manufactured in Australia) specifically designed to create a habitat for hollow-dependent wildlife. The Hollowhog efficiently and safely creates large internal cavities through small entry holes in both living and dead wood.

Using new Australian designed Hollow Hog we are able to safely carve hollows into living and dead trees. Unlike the traditional chainsaw carved hollows, the Hollow Hog makes minimal damage to the cambium layer of the tree. This leaves the trees defensive system unharmed and intact allowing for ease of sealing the wound and retaining the hollow.
