There's something special about adding a personal touch to your home, and what better way to do that than with a handmade welcome sign? I've recently created a piece that I'm particularly fond of: an old bear and his honey live here. This charming sign proudly hangs by my front door, greeting guests and bringing a smile to anyone who passes.

While this particular sign isn't for sale in my shop, I'm considering offering it if I receive enough positive feedback. Handcrafted art carries its own magic, transforming simple wood and paint into a warm invitation.

If you're interested in unique creations, be sure to check out my shop, Odin's Toy Factory, on Etsy. Your support and feedback mean a lot to me as I explore the possibility of sharing more of these little treasures with the world.

Thanks for stopping by. One day, this bear will find a home in your entryway, too!

All the items are handmade using natural wood and wood products. Each piece is unique and may vary in appearance from one item to the next. The item you receive may differ slightly from the item pictured in the listing photos. The thickness of the wood used in your item may also vary slightly from the size specified in the listing.

It's important to note that the natural variations in wood grain, color, and knots make each piece one-of-a-kind and add to the item's character and charm. The variations should be expected and are not considered defects. If you have any concerns about the variations or want to request a specific look or size, please contact me before placing your order.
