Handcrafted Seated Rocking Horse

This seated rocking horse is so beautiful and a real joy to make! I have made several of these rocking horses and they are art. Each piece is cut and sanded to go in its own place. Each piece of wood gives its own touch of character to the piece based on its own wood grain pattern and color and spaces between grain patterns. I have made many of these rocking horses and I have to say this has to be one of my favorite things to make. I make these by custom order so the color of finish is based on the customers preference and each rocking horse is made especially for the customer placing the order. The customers who have ordered them thus far have all responded that they love them. If you are interested in ordering one of these rocking horses or others styles and sizes that are available you can go to WWW.BACKYARDWOODDESIGNS.COM
The reason I request a order by email or some other contact I need to find out shipping arrangements and I need to give estimated date of completion based on other orders. I am glad to send these by either USPS or UPS based on customer preference. Shipping cost is paid by the customer along with cost of rocking horse and sales tax for New York residents.

Medium Oak Finish is shown.

New Swan Planters

With spring just around the corner I am glad to share with you a new planter for this season. This swan planter is made from 3/4" in layers. The planter looks great in pairs, would be great to set your potted flowers in or plant the flowers directly into the planter. The planter is painted with a exterior grade satin paint for protection from the elements. Planter made to last.

For others that would personally prefer another type of wood this item can be ordered as a custom order with your own preference of wood. More new designs coming soon.

Announcement of New Products!

I am glad to let you know I am introducing a new line of products. These products are offered for a reasonable price. I have been listening, and feel during some difficult times most people are having to stretch every dollar they spend. These new products are available as pins, pendants, or key chains. They are custom made with your initials and you choose the woods that you would like to see it made from and which product you would like and in the USA it will be mailed the next business day for individual orders. The choices of wood at this time are walnut, mahogany,maple, oak and cherry. I recommend choosing a light color wood and a darker for nice contrast.  Pictures show a few different combinations. These items will be offered on the website for sale for $6.00 and this includes shipping within the US. Orders may be placed starting February 18, 2013 after 12:00 p.m. eastern time.
