I've been wishing for a router, but Santa knows me too well. I'm on the wrong list!
Why I wish I had a router is two fold. One, if one routed out slabs, one could open up the mason bee house easier for cleaning, and the removal of any unwanted wasps larvae. And, two, I could put a bend in the tunnel. If you look at nature, the bees use tunnels made by other boring insects and those tunnels are not straight. Having a bend in the tunnel makes it harder for the wood peckers to reach in and pluck them out.
Just a thought.
