Wood-hollowing tools

I run a wildlife preservation company that installs habitats into trees. Carving bars on small chainsaws are good, but I’d like to find a better an more useful tool that can bore holes deep into the heartwood. Any recommendations?

  • We have created countless wildlife habitats and have always used top handle trim saws to bore in and create our hollows. I tried using a forstner bit on a drill as well as a hole saw but they never worked out quite right. Arbortech has some tools that could allow you to use an angle grinder in tree but I haven't used it in tree, only for carving projects on the ground.

     Hopefully this helps!
