Whats New At Backyard Wood Designs?

A new website has been created. It is updated and new items are added on a regular basis. I would like to take a moment to invite you to take a look.
This site allows you to purchase items that I make and offer for sale at different craft fairs I attend during the year. There are several options available to order items custom made with your own preferences based on a different kind of wood that you might prefer or even an item just a little different than what you see. Many more new items to come soon!
If you have any questions in regards to an items availability either fill one of the forms available or just send a quick email.
I would like to thank all of the people that made purchases from Backyard Wood Designs in 2012!
I am so excited about 2013! I will be adding a variety of unique new handmade products not previously offered.
I will be posting from time to time about changes and new items we will be offering in 2013!
For those of you that live within driving distance of my shop can avoid shipping cost by making arrangements to pick up your order right from the shop, or at one of the craft fairs I will be attending.
I will be posting all public events that I will be attending.

Horse Clock finished


I finished another item I wanted to share with you all. This item is a horse clock made from walnut and mahogany. Has a 17/16" clock insert. I will be making these clocks in many different styles and can be ordered with custom options of your own choice of wood combinations. What ever you would like. This makes them much more personal for gifts or something for yourself. I will share the new styles as I complete them. This horse clock measures 51/2" x 53/4" and is made using 1/2" thick hardwoods.

I have been working very hard to keep up with all of the things going on this time of year.

 Go check it out but keep in mind it is a work in progress and I am always improving and updating the content and information. WWW.BACKYARDWOODDESIGNS.COM let me know what you think. If you see something there you would like to order just send a message as to which item and what kind of wood you would like it made from. For anyone looking to save money on  shipping if you are within driving distance of my workshop just let me know you would like to just stop by and pick the item up. I would be glad to schedule a time for any item to be picked up. I am going to share some pictures of some decorative cross ornaments because I think they always look nice and making them from different hardwoods they always give me a different feeling. I have been finishing most of my items made from hardwood with a danish oil unless otherwise requested and I find it gives each item a richer and nicer finish.
