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 19 inches. It sits above the head like something the old man is holding up.
Two Pieces, One Twist
Every concrete bird bath we carry uses the same twist fit, whatever the shape.

What You Get With This Concrete Stone Bird Bath Old Man Tree Face
-
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.
-
02
A 19 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.
-
03
Keep the water shallow.
Add a shallow layer of water and keep it below the rim. Refresh it regularly.
-
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.
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.
