Log Cache - clever Geocaching hide

After my first few caches I thought I'd make a big effort with this one. It's a cache-in-a-log with a branch type locking mechanism.

It's now looking even more weathered after I grew some moss on the top and mould on the ends. (Real moss + beer + blended and pasted on, and yoghourt for the mould.)

Yep :)

Finally I had to re-lay the bark on the lid to cover damage and other work so I layered bark on it after smothering it with wood glue. I held the bark down with pins until it all dried.

The hardest part was carrying it to the location without being seen :)

I chainsawed the top off the log, did the same to another part of the same log to make a decent fitting lid, and then used one of those drill bits that makes a 1 inch hole - dozens of times. Then a simple hammer and chisel job to neaten it up a little.

Couple of hinges and a door latch with the handle mechanism sticking though another hole.

Unfortunately the moss and the mould all died so it now looks the same as when I made it, albeit a little more weathered.
