This a wagon being created and fabricated by Bryan Elbell, of Florida, using out heavy duty metal hub wagon wheels.
Bryan had this to say:
"The buckboard wagon is finally done. I was slammed at work until Christmas break, and with the weather and work I had to piece it along slowly.
Here's a few pictures of it when I rolled it out of the workshed for the first time for the trip to the front yard area.
And some final pictures as it sits completed.
The wheels and axles are from RP Trading.
The wood is rough hewn Cypress and Eastern Red Cedar. Thanks to The Pasco Sawmill and Tree Service in Pasco County, Florida for the wood. I chose Cypress and Cedar for the wood because of their tolerance of water here in Florida. They won't soak up and expand like our other woods do.
The flowers in the back are in a 36" x 36" x 6" solid box made of HDPE, which is a solid high density poly ethylene plastic, with drain holes and a support platform underneath. Florida weather will rust and rot out galvanized metal, so I went with something that won't rust or rot in a couple of years. The small rustic lanterns up front are solar led lights I found that match the color of the wagon, and the hooks I found are from a local nursery.
The wagon is stationary as I intended it to be a flower cart more than anything. I would've liked to be able to give the neighborhood kids a ride now and then pulling it with my tractor, but Florida DMV laws are strict when it comes to anything that can be attached and pulled down a road, and they would've required lights and reflectors, so I left it as a flower cart.
Any other questions, don't hesitate to call me.
"No dogs were harmed in the building of this wagon". They insisted on trying it out...!!"

The wagon is sitting on pavers with a Cypress wedge glued to them, 2 on both rear wheels.
The decorative gears on each side by the tires are actually old rusty shelf brackets. They help keep the wheel drops at a good angle, but are mainly for decoration. The front flowers are sitting in a 36" window box help up by a 4" x 4" x 36" piece of Cypress.
