Stopped by an old project yesterday. Blackened stainless address sign and custom cedar and brushed stainless garage doors. Great concept of making the garage doors an interesting focal point rather than trying to minimize their impact. (at West Linn, Oregon)

Sneak peak of the polished brass and walnut shelving units we just installed for @jhinteriordesign and @greengablesdesignbuild. Stunning historic home remodel in Portland's west hills. (at Portland Heights, Oregon)

Another shot of the final installation of our stainless, monolithic tread supports. All 316 marine stainless plate, all #4 brushed finish. No visible welds on exposed stanchions. Getting 1" glass treads, curved glass guardrails, and LED lighting into the treads. Wish we could take off the foam and take photos, but we gotta keep this protected a while longer. (at Bighorn Golf Club)

Door is in! Now for all the details and trim to get this ready for everyone to come through the tour! (at Street of Dreams)

Big pivot door went out this morning. More shots to follow!

Translucent fill for a custom conference table. You got a love what light does in and through objects @ghidinc

This might be the luckiest rail in all of Oregon. It's being worked on by Michael and Tony ..... At the same time!

Last details before disassembly. Working through the psychological dichotomy of wanting it "done" and knowing "we're really gonna miss this beauty" Can't wait to see it all finished and in its proper home. Thank you @bcsbatiment ! #forgedrailing #customstairsandrailings

A hot job on a hot day. Wishing it was November. Forge texturing solid rod for handrails. @bcsbatiment

Michael, our blacksmith in residence, is holding a stair stringer made from 1/2" steel plate with a 8-1/4" inside radius. What were we thinking?!?!
