Commissioned by a private client who keeps and trains owls for film work — we can’t say more, though one particularly famous snowy owl may have once been in their care — this arch was built as the entrance to an owl aviary.
The timber is bone oak — the dense, dark heartwood that remains long after the outer tree has aged and fallen. It has an ancient quality that no fresh-cut timber can replicate. Carved into it: owls, perched throughout the frame as if they’ve always been there, watching. At 2.4m tall and 1.5m wide, the arch fits a generous garden path or a wildlife enclosure. The removable rustic gate came with the commission, sized specifically to deter a particularly inquisitive llama. True story.
Designed, built, and delivered personally by our craftsmen. An arch like this can be made for any theme or setting — owl-themed wildlife gardens, school nature areas, private entrances, or beyond. Every carved detail to order. Prices include VAT.
