At Farrand Farms we don't currently sell wooden obelisks, or wooden trellis', tripods or tee pees, but we don't want to leave you without so we made our own and documented the process so you can make yours. For the price of one, $70-$100 each at the store, you can make four of your own. Buy your lumber • Three 2" x 1" x 8' • Four 2" x 2" x 8' - the 8' is the height of your obelisk. You can buy 6' if you prefer a shorter obelisk. If you have a table saw you can also buy two 2" x 4" x 8's and cut

I'm a huge fan of malachite but unfortunately it's a little too expensive for my taste. Tony Duquette, one of my favorite designers, used it like crazy in his home decor. He also painted tons of furniture in a faux malachite pattern and it always looked amazing! I thought I'd give it a try with some simple cardboard obelisks. These are perfect for a desk or bookshelf and if done right, people will think you're rolling in dough! Little do they know that they cost just pennies to make. Enjoy! xo, Mark My handsome pair I love that they're just cardboard and newspaper! Watch the short video tutorial here!
