STONE BIRD BATH

There Is a Face in the Trunk

The face is not applied to the surface. The grain runs into the brows and the beard splits the way bark splits, so the whole thing looks grown rather than stuck on. That is the difference between a carving and a decal.

The basin is a shallow timber dish with an irregular edge, wide at 17.7 inches. It sits above the head like something the old man is holding up.

Your Concrete Stone Bird Bath Old Man Tree Face, up in three steps

  1. 1

    Insert top into bottom

    Lift the basin onto the pedestal and drop the collar into the socket. Two people make this easy, one person can manage it.

  2. 2

    Twist to lock

    Turn the basin a quarter turn until it seats. No adhesive, no fixings, and it comes apart again the same way.

  3. 3

    Level and fill

    Check it sits flat all the way round, then fill to about two inches.

What You Get With This Concrete Stone Bird Bath Old Man Tree Face

  1. 01

    The face grows out of the grain.

    Bark lines run into the brows, the beard splits the way real bark splits, and the eyes sit deep enough to hold shadow. Applied faces sit on top of the wood texture and you can see the join. This one has no join to find, which is why it holds up when someone walks over to look at it.

  2. 02

    A 17.7 inch basin gives a bird room to hesitate.

    They land on the rim, settle, look around, and only then step in. A wide edge leaves space for that. The irregular timber edge also gives better grip than a smooth stone rim once feet are wet.

  3. 03

    Fill to two inches, not to the brim.

    At that depth chickadees stand on the rim and sip, robins get right in and shake water over the beard below. Filled to the top it becomes a drinking stop.

  4. 04

    Twenty nine pounds of sealed concrete.

    It stays where you put it through a season of weather, and the sealed surface comes through freeze and thaw once it is drained.

Where to put it

A face wants to be met, so put it where people come from rather than side on to a path. Under a tree, in a shaded border, among ferns. It reads as part of the garden when there is green around it and as an object on bare paving. Leave two or three feet of open ground for the birds and keep a shrub within a short flight.

Questions About This Concrete Stone Bird Bath Old Man Tree Face

Is the face carved or applied?
Carved into the trunk. The grain runs into the brows and the beard splits like bark, so there is no join between face and wood. Applied faces show that join at close range.
Which way should it face?
Toward wherever people arrive from. It is a face, and a face turned side on to a path does not do its job.
Will birds use a carved tree face bird bath?
The 17.7 inch basin has a wide irregular rim, which gives better grip than smooth stone once feet are wet. Fill to two inches, keep the approach open, and have cover within a short flight.
Is it too much for a formal garden?
It is a character piece, and it works best where the planting is informal. In a clipped formal setting a carved face will read as out of place regardless of quality.
Is a 17.7 inch basin big enough for more than one bird?
Yes. At that width two or three small birds use it at once without pushing each other off the rim. Fill it to about two inches, which is the depth wrens and chickadees will stand in rather than just drink from.
Does a hand painted concrete bird bath fade in the sun?
The paint is sealed for outdoor use, but any color set in full afternoon sun softens over several seasons. Somewhere with shade in the hottest part of the day holds the face detail at its best for longer. Keep bleach and pressure washers off it.
