Above are some photos of our recently completed Apple and Orchard Ladder weathervane. We made this particular weathervane for a man who has apple orchards and wanted to mount the weathervane atop his old historic wooden barn. We did several things to personalize his weathervane. If you look at the detail showing the ladder (above right), you can see that we stamped the names of each family member onto a rung. Next to each name, we put a ““Lucky Penny” from the year each family member was born. This is based on a weathervane tradition that dates back to the Victorian Age. Both these options are included in the price of the weathervane.

We also added an optional gold leafed highlight on the apple and gilded the apple leaf.
