View 360° Interactive carving
Open Supersized in a new window
Approximate Measurements provided in inches

Reference100-0007
Height16.5'
Width6'
Depth8'
Weight1.85kg
Grade InfoBig owl, lots of detail all around the object, different textures front, back and sides
Shape InfoLarge vertical rectangle
Color InfoMostly light sitting on a darker medium wood colored base. Approx 25% pyrography covered
Other ImperfectionsUnderneath the tail feathers (brake area) the finish is imperfect, slight 'overwax' around the eye in the sockets
MaterialPlinth is distinct from the main composite body and has rubber feet. Screws to base and feet.
NotesNice object fairly tall - ideal as a talking point up on a shelf out of the way. Quite stable but can be easily unbalnaced due to the high centre of gravity.
ConditionGood, some odd dimples here and there from the original denailing visible (two one side and one on the other) but they almost blend in perfectly.
Best AngleGood 360 degrees really - pyrography on the blaze and rear winged portion. I would be tempted to affix it up high looking down at 35 degrees in a hallway, perhaps concealling a cctv camera beween it's feet - an easy modification DIY'er could apply with a suitable Forstner dril lbit).
Worst AngleUp close the snout is not perfect, and betweek the feet the cavity lacks finesse
