Nutmeg is a tall, upright long eared owl sculpture, hand carved from cedar and finished in a deep chestnut stain that gives her the warm, spiced colour behind her name. Two swept-back ear tufts frame a broad, dished face, and her amber eyes give her a wide, steady stare.
Her chest is gouged by hand into a dense, honeycomb pattern of scooped feather marks, while her folded wings are cut in broad, overlapping ridges that curve down to a tapered tail. She grips the cut top of a bark-carved log base with long, detailed talons and stands a full 760mm tall, so she makes a striking wooden owl garden ornament for a gatepost, patio, porch or woodland border. Like every carving we make, she is chainsaw carved in the Forest of Dean and is one of a kind, a handmade owl that works equally well as a garden feature or a gift.
Let Nutmeg 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 Nutmeg the Long Eared 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.

Can I collect it instead?
Yes, collection is free from near Longhope, Gloucestershire. Tick “I'll collect it myself” in your basket before checking out and we will get in touch to arrange a day and time.
Can I return it?
