The Florida State Master Craftsman Studio designed and built a owl with a six-foot wingspan during the renovation of the Ruby Diamond Concert Hall between 2008 and 2010. Chris Horne, the master craftsman who led the project, used lightweight balsa wood for the wings, foam for the body, resin for feathers and the beak, and acrylics for the eyes.
