Suet Log Bird Feeder
Turn a branch into a suet feeder by drilling 1" cavities along the length to fit suet plugs, plus a 5/8" pass-through at the top for a hanging rope. The auger’s reinforced tip keeps holes straight in knotty wood, and the compact length lets you work comfortably on shorter logs.
