Carved oak handle that seems way too thin in the middle with a cast iron disk attached. I'm at a loss. I found this in the middle of a recent set of crops circles! The silver metal on the cast iron is not from this planet and it causes it to levitate at Midnight. If it's some strange animal husbandry object, I'm going to be upset. #woodandiron #castiron #unknownobject #oakandiron @iowacityart (at Iowa City Art & Antiques) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTN_teQsg38/?utm_medium=tumblr
"Woven Mesh" mesh guardrail adds a modern industrial vibe yet softened with a wood top cap. Powder coat finish is matte black. Thanks Guardian!

"Wall Wrap" Carbon steel wall wrap with shelf. This is a raw steel wrap keeping the changed color from the mill. The blue on the top and bottom comes from heat as its rolled. The character in the steel adds just another texture along with the wood and marble in this modern cabin. Thanks I.H.!

Wood and Iron really is the best combination. Throw in a little stonework and you have a little piece of paradise!
No idea who the craftsmen were, but you can see that they took pride in their work. And lets not forget the wonderful customer who demanded quality rather than quantity, bringing art to life all around them.
Well, no sooner do I talk about one wood-n-iron project then another customer sends me pictures of her wood-n-iron project!
Who doesn't love wood and iron together?
AJ found me on Etsy and asked if I could shorten some of the standard hooks that I offer. Of course I said I could, and then it was off to the races trying to figure out how to make the hooks to the dimensions she needed.
At the last minute, she let me know the hooks were going to be mounted on thin slats, so I couldn't send the hooks out with the screws I normally include.
With more details on her plan, something I'm loathe to ask for, I decided to use solid brass screws and antiqued them to get rid of the factory shine.
When I finished all of the hooks, I was very unhappy with how they turned out, so.... back to the bandsaw to cut them to a more uniform overall length. This meant I had to reforge all the countersink divots, ruining the finish I’d already applied and killing my profit margin entirely, but it was well worth it in the end. Greater uniformity is one thing, but getting the hooks to fit nicely on the slats was the real winner.
It was only today when I got her email with the pictures that I got the whole story behind this project.
AJ & Hubby are big coffee aficionados and their most of those mugs were collected while on their honeymoon, traveling through the Great Parks out west. This isn't simply a rack to hold some cheap mugs on the wall. Each piece is an irreplaceable memento from their shared history, a big moment in their lives, and my ironwork had to be absolutely spot on or it would have ruined the whole vibe.
No pressure!
I shudder to think how I'd be feeling right now if I'd taken the shortcut and sent her the original hooks. The first iteration was good, but not as good as I wanted. There was that little voice in the back of my head telling me to fix what I saw wrong, and I'm so glad I listened to it! I couldn’t do what I do if it wasn’t for the very kind support of customers like AJ. If you’d like to help keep the iron flowing, consider stopping by to pick up a shirt or maybe some ironwork of your very own. Every bit helps! https://www.storefrontier.com/three-rivers-forge
