{"product_id":"tree-trunk-face-bird-house-grumpy-old-man","title":"Tree Trunk Face – Bird House – Grumpy Old Man","description":"\u003cp\u003eA small garden becomes more watched, more curious, with a hand-carved wooden bird house tucked among leaves. Made from jempinis wood with seagrass detail, it offers wild birds a front opening while bringing the rough charm of a carved tree-trunk face to a balcony, patio or sheltered outdoor corner.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat gives it its character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe bark-like outer surface keeps the feeling close to a cut tree trunk, with natural texture rather than a polished garden-ornament finish.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe carved face has deep brows, a long nose and a downturned, open mouth, giving the piece its old-man expression.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe dark entrance sits within the mouth, so the practical bird-house opening becomes part of the sculpture.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA braided cord is visible at the top, useful for hanging the piece in a chosen spot.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe warm wood tones sit easily with terracotta pots, weathered stone, herbs and leafy planting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFor quiet visitors in the garden\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a decorative bird house with an entrance at the front for birds to use. Place it where you can enjoy watching the small movements of garden life without putting it somewhere too exposed or busy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs with any bird house, the best spot is calm, stable and away from regular disturbance. A sheltered wall, balcony beam or tree branch can make it feel part of the garden rather than an object simply placed there.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eJempinis wood, seagrass and carved expression\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is hand-carved in Indonesia from jempinis wood, with seagrass included in the design. The front is shaped into a detailed face, while the outer trunk surface keeps a rustic, natural look.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBecause the material is natural and the carving is done by hand, small differences in grain, colour and expression are part of the piece’s character.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePlacing it well and caring for it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHang or position it in a sheltered outdoor place, away from constant rain and strong wind where possible. Natural wood and seagrass age more gently when they are not left in prolonged damp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCheck it between nesting seasons and avoid disturbing it if birds are using it. Brush away loose surface dust or debris when needed, and let it dry naturally if it becomes wet.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eA carved face in the garden\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFaces carved into wood have a long place in garden decoration, often sitting somewhere between shelter, sculpture and folklore. This piece has that same woodland feeling: a characterful face emerging from a trunk, half practical bird house and half watchful garden figure. It does not need to be grand to change the mood of a small outdoor space. Set among leaves or beside pots, it adds a little humour and story while still feeling earthy and simple.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSize and details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 34 × 14.5 × 14.5 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 2200 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterials: jempinis wood and seagrass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Indonesia.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eA thoughtful garden gift\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA good gift for someone who likes birds, rustic garden pieces or small objects with personality. It suits a balcony gardener, a cottage-style outdoor space, or anyone who enjoys watching nature come a little closer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill every piece look exactly the same?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. The bird house is hand-carved from natural wood, so grain, tone and small carving details can vary from piece to piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it purely decorative?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is decorative, but it is also made as a bird house with a front entrance opening for birds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHAMTAM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52964349280570,"sku":"BirdB-08","price":41.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/8307\/0266\/files\/bG9jYWw6Ly9tZWRpYS9TUS8yRC82MFIzMEMxSjY0VEsyRFNRL2EyMjY0NDc5LmpwZw_716a794d-65b1-49e4-a60b-e645ba28ad3a.jpg?v=1773167834","url":"https:\/\/shamtam.com\/products\/tree-trunk-face-bird-house-grumpy-old-man","provider":"SHAMTAM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
