Welcome Bears for Rustic Decor!

There are so many ideas for the welcome bears that I have been making.  They come in many different sizes. I make the smaller ones from 1" to 2" thick rough cut pine. They come in sizes from 12" tall to 4 ' tall including the base. They are finished several different ways: some are burnt to get different colors and some are stained. Welcome signs for smaller bears are made from poplar and hand painted with acrylics and the welcome signs for larger bears are made from 3/4" pine and then finished with stain and letters are hand painted with acrylics then entire piece is finished with a clear protective finish so it can be used indoors or out. Here are just a few to give you a idea of the different effects of different finishes. The ones in photo all have a block of cherry for a base which includes bark for rich texture and also the grain of the wood is exposed to show the nice grain pattern within a cherry tree or log. From left to right the first taller bear has been burnt for color, this bear measures 18" high with the base included. The bear is 5 3/4" wide. The second on left gets his color from applying a hand rubbed finish of oak and he measures 15" high including base and the bear made from 2" thick wood. 3rd bear in from left has a hand rubbed finish of walnut stain and is 13 1/4" tall and also made from 2" wood. Tall bear on the right is again burned for his rich color and he is 14 3/4" high including base. I will be consistently sharing different bears on a regular basis. I have many styles and designs and I am always working on one almost always along with other items I make. If you are interested in ordering one of the bears shown in this picture or you want one a little different you can go to HTTP://WWW.BACYARDWOODDESIGNS.COM  Many different bears available for your rustic Adirondack décor, or if you just like to decorate with bears. They sure do give a warm feeling to any room, they look great in a window or sitting in the flower bed. I am sure you have a area where one of these little bears would look great.
