Contestant's Case to Win

Welcome to Western Wood Crafts ,
WOOD is one of the most sensual and sexy materials on this planet... This material has been here before dinosaurs.
Trees grow and spread their leaves and seeds. They have huge families, all over the world. Birds will take seeds , spread them across the land, as only a bird can. Wind blows there it goes, another tree begins to grow.
Through time we have used the wood from trees for many many uses. Homes, food, furniture, books, teeth, heat ,travel
pretty much to many to name. The list goes on and on and on.
Wood has a wonderful smell. It is beautiful to look at and is calming to touch. Just visualize, how romantic and relaxing burning a candle in one of our candle holders can be... Total elegance.
Or perhaps a glass vase of flowers in a wood base. You can decorate your home and office with several of our items. You can have the breathtaking look of wood in your home and know that it is one of a kind, hand made in USA. Feel it , smell it, and share its beauty with others. We offer you art that is made from the heart.
We make candle holders, lamps, shelves , key holders, picture frames , and many more items. A lot of the wood we use is cedar and is trimmed or pruned from the trees here on our land. In stead of burning or turning into mulch we have made jewelry and other wonderful forms of art. We are creative and each piece is hand made so no two will be exactly alike.

We have bird homes. The female version {my} is made from 2 liter plastic soda pop bottles. These are made to hang in your tree and with the sun , should only last a few years and will start to break down. I made these to make something beautiful and make use of plastic bottles. This is my first year to make these and I have no data on them..I do know they look good in any yard and will decay in time. The male version is made of wood. These are so very colorful and will last several years. These are truly yard art... No home should be without one of each.. You could also hang or display inside of your home..I think these could make a wonderful center piece and create a unique atmosphere in any room.
Crocheted handbags are something I enjoy making. I like to put different types and colors of yarn together. I start with an idea and just go with the flow. I have sold several of these and is a must have for any handbag collection. Some people tell me what colors they want and leave the rest to me. I have made bags for little girls, big girls, and some wonderful ladies. Pouches that can house your cell phones and or make-up. I make hats and scarves as well.
A vote for us , is a vote for Home. God Bless America
