BARKER ORNAMENTS Establishing Traditions and Making Memories Since 1953
FUNDRAISERS • HISTORIC BUILDINGS • SCHOOLS • CHURCHES
CUSTOM DESIGNED WOODEN ORNAMENTS
Craftsmanship and Quality Barker custom designed ornaments are reproduced on one eighth inch thick Baltic birch laminated wood. Using the color photographs or line drawings submitted by the customer, artist Ralph Barker adds the details necessary to make the ornament stand out. He has hand crafted tens of thousands of custom ornaments, with many satisfied customers, and will often choose to paint telephone poles or tree branches out of the picture so that the building becomes the focal point. For a holiday mood, he often adds wreaths, evergreen trees, and glitter snow into the artwork. Each order is designed to meet the unique needs of the customer placing the order. Customers must also select the type of ornament, strings for hanging on Christmas trees or magnets for year-round display. Ornament size varies widely due the unique proportions of the buildings or logos submitted. However, the average ornament size is about 6 inches by 4 inches. During the design process, each custom wooden ornament will be processed through 18 hand crafted steps. When that process is complete, each ornament will be labeled, hand dated, signed with the traditional Barker “B”, and individually packaged.
