    Garden Ornaments

    These things were made from salvaged lumber. Barn board, fork lift pallets, cedar slabs, etc. My philosophy: If the board doesn't have a knot, knot hole or nail hole, it isn't appropriate for my kind of woodworking.

    I like all of them - very rustic and picturesque!

    And i like that fact that you don't need to finish them !

      You could make a killing at local flea markets with that of work. I like the wheel barrow best.

        Nice stuff.

        I'm not showing these to my wife. Doing yard work, especially mowing, is hard enough as it is. I'm sure she'd be requesting more stuff to get in my way.

            Well done. At least you don't have a high materials expense. They look like antiques (actually, the wood may be ).

              Very innovative uses for pieces of leftover wood. They look pretty good.

                I really like the looks of those. Very rustic, which happens to be a big plus.

                  I also like the rustic look. I intend on doing some rustic furniture and maybe a log bed someday. Great job.
