Hey Dan,
Yes on my bike the front doesn't extend far forward (~150mm). And the ones for sale were mostly designed before big clearances were fashionable, so they were meant to stop behind the fork crown. Having said that, they are mostly un-drilled so could be setup differently if the bike will allow. Is there a set in particular you'd like measurements of? -
They are amazing. Look nicer than my PDW ones. Can you make new ones?

That's weird -- you can see the photos here http://liam-h.com/woodguards/ -- they are probably roughly in the same order as the forum post descriptions too...

My woodguards arrived the other day and they are really, really nice. As well as a rear mudflap I got one of the offcuts, which I'm going to turn into some shorty 'wheelbrow' style mudguards for a Rourke I'm building up. Liam, hopefully my shaky woodwork skills won't make a mess of your craftsmanship...

Woodguards -> mudguards made of wood = good Christmas presents
Posted by

EDIT: Everything now sold.
Hi all,A few years ago I used to make wooden mudguards from laminated hardwoods that I was selling online and in a few bike shops. Anyway, in a recent clear out I found a whole bunch left over. Some are seconds (they might have a slight twist to them), some have been briefly used, and some are a bit mix and match. I figured I would put them on here to see if there was any interest, maybe they would make good Christmas presents.
They are treated with (many) coats of tung oil, which can be topped up if you like, whenever they loose their shine. I can provide a wee jar of the stuff.
Happy to post at cost (flaps around £3, full sets, £5), Christmas delivery cut off is the 18th . I am based in Brockley (SE London) if you would like to collect/take a look too.
I tend to use velo-orange stays, that are on eBay for around £12. If there is some interest I’m happy to buy a batch and supply at cost.
I will supply nicely laser cut mounting brackets for attaching to brake bridges (will add photos of these options too).
This is roughly what they look like mounted (this is my round-town-retired-mountain-bike-commuter-thing), which would be incredibly ugly without wooden bits:
First up, single rear mud-flaps -- these attached at the seat-stay bridge, resting/bracing against the seat tube (rear wheel only):

Solid walnut, £30
Walnut with ash stripe (2 of) , £30eaSOLDAsh with small walnut stripe (previously used), £15SOLDFull sets:

Odds and sods, some of these could possibly be cut to make a set, or used as a rear mudflap:
