Decorating Horse Farms (w/ pic)
Hey everybody. I'm in the heart of horse country here in Kentucky and I'm lucky enough to have some inroads to some prominent farms. Basically my buddies on these farms know I'm a woodworker and are saying 'show me what ya got.' Secret thing is...I don't really have that much (shhh). Recently I made the garden obelisk pictured below and put it on my buddy's property.
What I'd really like to get into is making things, anything they might want for the farms themselves. Does anyone have pictures or ideas about what kind of ornamental structures would be appropriate for horse farms? I don't imagine I could provide anything actually functional because all that stuff is already covered (I assume) so the best place for me to aim is 'ornamental.' I brought the below pictured obelisk out to my buddy's farm but the only place it looked right was in the house yard.
I'm def open to your suggestions as to what make and entertain my buddies with.
Thanks a ton!
PS. I think I spoke too soon because I've already had someone suggest great things I can make that actually ARE useful to daily operations. I suppose I'm thinking along the lines of something one farm owner would see and think, hey, I want that on my farm. I'm thinking something unique, but anything that would sell works for me.

Hi,
The only things I have made, using my stencil kit are horse names for stable gates.
They are highly appreciated.
RegardsHugh

Thank you so much Hugh that's a great idea! Easy to make and very personalized. I've got resin experience too so that could be worked into the name plates. I don't know why someone has to suggest an idea that was right in front of my face but that's me, a little slow to come up with ideas I guess.
Would you be able to post a picture of the signs you've made, or maybe something in the same style? I've got the Rockler stencil sets so I can do like what's in the picture, but if there's another style of stencil available I'd really like to see it.
I'd love to hear more suggestions.

Hi,
I forgot I have also made some mounting blocks for kids and oldies.
