{"product_id":"hand-carved-wooden-owl-bench","title":"Owl Garden Bench — Hand-Carved Oak, 2-Seater","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo owls, carved deep into the backrest of a solid oak bench, looking out from the wood as though they’ve always been there. The Owl Bench is one of our enduring designs — a bench that works as garden furniture, as a school bench, as a memorial, as a golden wedding anniversary gift. The owls carry whatever meaning you bring to them: wisdom, watchfulness, presence, love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bench shown here went to Grove Road Primary School in Hertfordshire, arriving in September 2024. Schools and gardens across the UK have versions of this bench — each one personalised with a name, a date, or a dedication. One carries the inscription \u003cem\u003e“Cinquante années de mariage”\u003c\/em\u003e — fifty years of marriage, carved in French for a couple whose story deserved no less. Another stands in a forest setting in memory of Graham Peter Bartram, 1949–2023. The owls look the same, but no two benches ever quite are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAndrea at Exeter Cathedral School put it simply: \u003cem\u003e“The children are enjoying them immensely. All we need now is better weather!”\u003c\/em\u003e That’s what a well-made outdoor bench does — it gets used, season after season. Made from solid oak with mortise and tenon joinery and finished with three coats of Epifanes matt varnish for lasting outdoor durability. \u003cstrong\u003ePrices include VAT.\u003c\/strong\u003e Schools can \u003ca href=\"\/en-pl\/pages\/contact\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eorder on invoice\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo hand-carved owls on the solid oak backrest — deeply carved, detailed, permanent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePersonalisation available: names, dates, dedications, inscriptions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable as a garden bench, school bench, memorial bench, or anniversary gift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMortise and tenon joinery throughout — built for decades of outdoor use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished with three coats of Epifanes matt varnish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-seater (140cm wide); also available as 3-seater (160cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-seater bench (as shown)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 140cm | Depth: 60cm | Height: 120cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree-seater bench\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 160cm | Depth: 60cm | Height: 120cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour Version\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe owls stay the same; everything else is yours.
