Squirrel Proof Suet Feeder



The Squirrel Proof Suet Feeder allows only the birds to munch away. It wards off the invasion of squirrels with the wired guard and circular shape. While squirrels are unable to latch on, birds can easily perch on the wire and munch away. The apple shape of this particular piece of wood makes it a visually appealing and functional feeder for wild birds.

Iron Cattails



The everlasting beauty of the cattail, is stored and captured in this metallic recreation. The cattail is a prominent Canadian plant. In this piece I have captured the fall cattail for year round viewing; from summers dew to glistening under winter's white coat, the golden cattails are a great edition. Whether you choose to display the piece inside your home, or in your garden, the artistry of the cattails captures the eye. They also function as a sign post, as is shown in the photo below! The iron cattails are a exact replica of their natural counterpart and completely to scale.

Iron and Slate Entertainment Centre


Bring the beauty of the outdoors inside! The intricate twisting of the metal vines appears delicate and fragile, meanwhile it holds up 80 pound pieces of slate.  Just looking at the stand, it comes across as a piece of art that represents the strength and beauty of the wilderness. But beyond beauty, the piece offers functionality, as it works as an entertainment stand or shelving unit. Each of the levels comes apart, making the assembly of this heavy unit simple. The vines and leaves resemble summer and can be enjoyed year-round from the comfort of your living room.

You won't find an entertainment unit like this anywhere, guaranteed! Bring this piece of artwork and nature into your home by contacting Michael W Designs at michaelwdesigns@hotmail.com

Rolling Acres Stone Wall


The Majestic Tree Bird Feeder Stand




The Majestic Tree possesses an artistic flare and is a beloved place to perch for all wild birds. Hang bird feeders off of its iron branches and watch a variety of beautiful birds flock from near and far to munch on a tasty snack. This stand works best in a open clearing where it is easily visible to birds. They feel safe approaching its elevated branches and enjoy the ability to spot any approaching cats from afar. The design elevates your bird feeder or birdhouse to safety and the slippery iron wards off squirrels. The stylistic use of branches makes the Majestic Tree Bird Feeder a frequent place for birds to flock to and visit for awhile, while providing a visually pleasing addition to your garden.

Iron and Maple Coffee Table

Cedar Teeter-Totter - 16 foot


This particular teeter-totter was made for my nieces and nephews. We have one at our house as well that is around 20 feet in length and 5 feet at its highest. Now 11 years old, it weathers the elements well. The design was inspired by a nostalgia for an authentic one-of-a-kind piece from the past. Height and length are up to you. The two I designed contain 4 seats, so the children can sit two on each side. Just ask my kids, "it's thrilling to ride and you don't see teeter-totters like these anymore!"

Interested in having a one-of-a-kind teeter-totter of your own? Give me a shout @ michaelwdesigns@hotmail.com.

Customized Stump Planter


I came across this particular interesting piece of stump that resembled a baseball glove. I decided to mould it into a planter for a fellow baseball fan and monogram it with the blue jays logo.  These planters are able to be monogrammed in anyway you wish, as for instance the following stump is monogrammed with the pieces astrological sign. The handy thing about these planters is if they are placed on the soil, the wood will wick the water from the ground allowing your planters soil to always be moist.



Can you picture one of these unique planters in natural harmony with your garden? If so, give me a shout at michaelwdesigns@hotmail.com.

Iron Hibiscus or Wild Grass Frame
