Maple is a pale, hand carved barn owl who looks straight out at you, her glossy black eyes set wide in a smooth, shallow heart-shaped face rimmed with fine combed lines. Left in the natural honey tone of cedar, she has a clean, bright look that suits a lighter, more modern garden.
Her folded wings are cut in tidy rows of feather ridges, each scorched darker at the tips, and sweep down in long, straight flight feathers to a pointed tail. The body is shaped by hand with soft, scooped chisel marks, and she stands on the sawn top of a bark-carved log base with her small, neat talons gripping the edge. At 650mm tall, Maple is a mid-size wooden owl sculpture for a doorstep, patio, garden wall or flower bed. Like every carving we make, she is chainsaw carved in the Forest of Dean and is one of a kind, a handmade garden ornament that also makes a thoughtful gift.
Let Maple bring a touch of nature’s wisdom to your home!

Care Instructions
Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Place outside in FULL SHADE on a well drained spot.
This Owl is cut from a log which will over time dry out – cracking may occur and this should be viewed as a feature and not a fault.
To significantly reduce the risk of cracking please place your sculpture outside in full shade on a well drained spot.
In subsequent years the sculpture should be treated with preservative to ensure a prolonged life.

Questions about Maple the Barn Owl
Is there a guarantee if my carving splits?
Yes. Every carving is cut from a single log and can split a little as the wood dries. If a split spoils your enjoyment of it, we repair it free of charge for the first 12 months, as long as it has been kept outside in full shade, away from direct sun and heat. After 12 months we can still repair it for a small charge, and you pay the carriage. Why carvings crack.
Where should I keep my carving outside?
Stand it in full shade on well-drained ground, away from direct sunlight and any heat source, and treat it with wood preservative from time to time. That is also the condition of our 12-month split repair guarantee. Full care guide.
Maple the Barn Owl has sold. Can I get something similar?
Every carving is one of a kind, so this exact piece can't be made again. We can make one to order in a similar style, so get in touch with the size and animal you have in mind. Made-to-order pieces are non-refundable because they are made specially for you, and we always make that clear before you pay.
