Description: These nest boxes are handmade here in the Hill Country of Texas right in my workshop. The style and dimensions are proven screech owl habitats. We've had this same size box in an elm tree since 2008! We have screech owls return every year! The Process:These boxes are made from rough cut live edge cedar (the actual tree bark is still on the edges). I get the raw cedar wood from a lumber mill in Fisher Texas. I find the best functional and aesthetically beautiful pieces of wood with some "live edge" bark on the ends. This really adds to the natural look and apparently the attractiveness for the owls. The real cedar smell and look is more realistic to their natural habitat. The large opening at the top easily accommodates a momma and her baby(s)! There's nothing more adorable then seeing the little ping pong ball sized baby sitting next it's parent. Have your camera ready.The roof slopes to the rear for runoff away from the opening.I've routed an owl image on the front face and put two coats of finish on the box to help hold the color of the wood and increase it's life span. Cedar tends never to rot or warp regardless.All wood is different, no box is exactly the same, so expect an exciting personally made "to order" box just for you. Placement:You'll have success with the box at least 15 feet up a tree, on the side of barn, or even on a poll. Ours are at about 20 feet off the ground. Try not to have the box exposed to full sun, shade during the day is best, thus under the canopy of a tree. There are pilot holes for you to use decking screws for mounting and attachment.Each box is made to order and ships within a day or two, unless the wife I take the grandkids in the travel trailer somewhere. :) To be clear, this sale is for a single nest box, multiple boxes in the pictures are for display purposes.Thank you so much for considering buying a next box for yourself ,,, and maybe a friend or relative. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_screech_owl
