Welcome to the very succinct website for
Springfield FarmArt. And yes, its part of my
"corporate" website. I haven't quit my day job yet.
But, I have long had a dream of metal
sculpting and someday hope to bolster my living creating
unique garden art and furniture from reclaimed farm
implement parts. (Weird dream, huh?) Contact me if you are interested
in a piece or want to discuss a commission.

Garden or Patio Furniture
This
table is constructed of leaf springs, harrow tines
and a disk, topped with a 48"
tempered glass top. Its a perfect size for a small
patio. Several different tables are available
and no two are alike. You can choose or
commission one that best suits your taste.

This is a recently commissioned piece created entirely from a
John Deere one-bottom plow found on the customer's property.
The plowshare swivels in the wind while marking the
entrance to the driveway and honoring the
agricultural roots of this land.

Garden Art
Do you have a trailing
plant you'd like to hang on your porch of from a
tree limb? This holder, made from harrow
tines, a piece of chain and a disk, will hold any
potted plant you can fit on it. Many other styles
available.

Albert is my major domo, constructed of leaf springs and
an idler pulley. He spent most of last summer holding a large pot
of lobelia and allyssum. But he did take a break to help out at a
party by holding a bucket full of cold beer. He never complains
about the jobs I give him! I really think everyone should have an
Albert or two. |

About Springfield FarmArt
All of the
pieces I create use the found curves and angles of
the original components to impart a sinuous, organic
design. There is rarely any modification to
the parts before incorporation into the whole.
All of the FarmArt pieces are suitable for outdoor
use, in fact, most of the parts have been sitting
outside, buried in some hedgerow for the last 30 to
80 years. They can't rust any more (than
they already are...), and sure
won't rot. No trees were sacrificed in the
creation of FarmArt. There is no finish,
lacquer, paint or varnish used in creating FarmArt,
so there's no harm to the ozone layer.
Give me a call (607-227-6928) or send an email (celrod@sfetech.net)
if you'd like to toss around some ideas for your
own piece of FarmArt. |

New life given
to old parts. I wish I could do the same for
myself! |
