- Start off by cutting a small, skinny cylinder for the owl to stand on from the slab of wood.

- The size of the cylinder should be (5 1/2 inches)

- Top and Bottom: (12 1/2 inches x 12 1/2 inches)

- Sides of the box will need (17 1/2 inches x 12 1/2 inches)

If needed: smooth out the wood before hand by using sand paper.

After gluing down the parts of the box, make a small hole that matches the size of the skinny cylinder into the hole using the wood glue from before.

Leave for box to dry for at least 30 minutes.
