Why They Choose IC WOOD (The "Inventor's Advantage")

As the inventor of the proprietary hollowing technology used at hollowlog.com, I’ve spent over a decade perfecting a process that transforms reclaimed wood into structural, safe, and lightweight environments. Unlike plastic imitations, our logs provide the organic texture and sensory experience that only real wood can offer—engineered to withstand the demands of a 5,000lb rhinoceros or a playground full of energetic children.

A Decade of Solving Needs

Since 2014, IC WOOD LLC has successfully diverted 275 tons of wood from landfills, repurposing massive timbers into vital habitat features. The company's top-tier industry ranking is the direct result of providing a specialized solution that the world's leading institutions—including the Columbus Zoo and Shedd Aquarium—have relied on for over a decade. Today, IC WOOD LLC continues to lead the industry through dedicated Research & Development and expert consulting for zoo enrichment specialists and landscape architects nationwide.

"The goal has always been to provide a real-world alternative to a plastic-focused industry. Nature provides the best materials; I simply provided the technology to make them accessible and safe for everyone."
— Bob Kilgore, Founder & Inventor
