He Specializes In "Horseshoe" Art AG WORLD 30-2-23 Bernard Pasquier, Quaker Hill, Ct., uses horseshoes to make unique signs, plant stands, benches, cordwood holders, and more.
"I used to work at a slaughterhouse that exported horse meat to Europe. As a result, I have a huge number of horseshoes piled up on my place - about eight tons worth," says Pasquier, who is retired now.
His plant stand is designed to support a metal wash tub that serves as a plant container. It measures 2 ft. in dia. and 3 ft. high and contains 36 horseshoes.
His welcome sign has a big metal heart inside an old steel wagon wheel. The heart is suspended from the top of the wheel by a pair of chains. The word "welcome" was formed by welding nine horseshoes onto an old scythe blade. The wheel is supported on each side by a pair of horseshoe legs.
His 4-ft. wide bench features a seat and back made entirely from horseshoes and supported by two lugged steel wheels.
The decorative cordwood holder also measures 4 ft. wide and uses six inward-curving metal pieces to contain the wood, three on each side. The floor was made by welding horseshoes together on top of a metal frame.
Pasquier says he's willing to custom build his horseshoe art for others, with prices starting at $100.
