What more can I say but that this is a full size wishing well.,, over 8’ at the apex .Base is made of 148 pieces of 2 by 4 recycled hardwood mitered and fixed to a concrete footing with all thread . the roof is weather board [clapboard I think you call it In the states] .. 5’ square,, a working windlass with bucket ,. twelve sided made from timber ….
Made for a mate to keep the cows off the bore pump ..the heifers like it as a scratching post.. 5 years and it is still standing,, but alas the property was sold.,
Still a nice little project.

5 years is long time outside with the heifers. Still looks good, quality craftsmanship.

Larry, the things you make for people seems to add value to their property and then they sell it…..Hmmmm.
