Handmade Solid Oak & Sapele Bird House: Solid Wood Nest Box, Garden Gift - Personalisable
All our products are handmade from solid hardwoods, in our workshop in the wonderful heart of rural Hampshire, UK.
This solid oak bird house is made from solid, furniture-grade oak with a lovely natural wood grain pattern.
Made from wonderful solid pieces of oak and sapele, this product once cut to size, has then been planed, sanded and finished by hand with a food safe finish, to provide a fabulous handmade finished product, that would look great in any setting.
This bird house/nest box follows a contemporary design and features a 34mm bird hole, perfect for smaller bird varieties, including blue tits, coal tits and some sparrow varieties, but also for larger species including larger sparrow and tit varieties and flycatchers.
The rear panel can be easily removed for cleaning of the bird house, at the end of the season.
As these are made from a natural product, they will contain their own wonderful characteristics, including unique grain patterns and natural colour tones, that our finish ensures it takes centre stage.
It may be possible to add a personalised message to the rear of this product. Please feel free to message to discuss requirements, if this is something you would like to be added.
