Countdown to Christmas

When does a sign become a tray...or a tray become a sign?

It started with an idea we saw on Pinterest...a DIY tray that holds a 13" X 9" casserole dish and becomes a carrier as well as a buffet server/trivet for hot dishes.  With Ben's Country Woodshop penchant for creating interesting signs, the tray idea soon evolved into something more...a tray that could also serve as a decorative sign for the kitchen, great room, patio...wherever you need it or want it!

That great idea soon developed into an even better idea...why not build these tray/signs as gifts for our family members who would be gathering for Christmas? Soon Ben's Country Woodshop and Santa's elf got busy:

 After Ben cut the pieces, Ben's helper got to work sanding and staining the framework for each tray.

 This was a bit time consuming and tedious work, but it became a labor of love since we were planning to give these to our loved ones for Christmas.

 Hey! You need to warn me when you're taking my picture...

Uh-oh...here comes Mr. Ben's Country Woodshop himself to check on the progress!

Soon the pieces were all stained, and then came the part of stenciling the letters for each sign, and creating unique colors/styles for the people for whom the gifts were intended...

Finally the day came when we could reveal the gifts to the recipients...at least to some of them.  

They were all very pleased with their gifts...and even the 90 year old Grandma of the group got a special sign..."Count Your Blessings"...another creation from Ben's Country Woodshop!

All in all it was  fun and successful project, which has potential for a lot of other applications in the future!

Thank you, Ben's Country Woodshop!!

Welcome to Ben's Country Woodshop!

It all started with a sign:   Christmas gifts for our family members...we wanted to give everyone some "Faith, Hope and Love" for Christmas and the New Year...

And it just kind of took off from there...God took the act of Faith, Hope and Love...and helped Ben's Country Woodshop pursue a dream...to create signs, gifts, and any other kind of ideas from wood that people would want to take home with them!
Now Ben's Country Woodshop is really getting busy!  Lately the calls are coming in day and night...asking, "Can you build this?  Can you make a sign for our house? Our camp?

Our boat?

Our island?

 How about for my porch?

Custom Order for "Pat's Porch"

 The cabin?

Even a special Christmas sign for the cabin!

What about hunting and fishing?...   

The answer has been...yes, yes, yes, and yes....but now Ben is getting swamped! Not complaining...just busy! The woodshop is overflowing to the back porch, the foyer, the living room, the sun room...

But hey! That's just what we wanted and prayed for!  When God answers your prayers and gives you more business than you can handle...you just get to work! And give thanks!

(Oh yeah! We have a sign for that too!)  And you "Count Your Blessings"

How about an Owl Box?  For a Barred Owl?  Yep! We can do that too!
"Who who who cooks for you????"

How about the deer? 

 Oh! But I have bears!  Got anything for them?          

You name it! We'll do our best to create it!!!

Another custom sign for "stable people"

What about sports?

 How about my team?

We even have custom designed CORN HOLE GAMES... painted in your choice of team colors. Custom logos extra.  Corn bags are also created locally by a family friend/business partner...so they are color coordinated to go with your game!

So...this is really just the beginning of this new adventure.  Of course, Ben's Country Woodshop has a whole line of furniture that he custom builds also...but we'll save that for the next time. Right now, if you've been waiting for a sign that you should give us a call...This is it!!!  What's YOUR sign? Just ask, and we'll create it special just for you!  You can contact us through your comments here, or on our Facebook page: Ben's Country Woodshop on Facebook
