(Max 10 characters per side) I hand forge each piece from 1/8” x 1" solid steel, hammering it into shape using only hammer and anvil. I then hand stamp your personalized name, date or anything you'd like. Finally I seal with beeswax for a water and rust resistant finish. This piece will last multiple lifetimes. All of our items are hand forged in house from solid iron, and are made to last decades. Truly unique hardware that you won’t find anywhere else. We respond to messages very quickly, and can customize almost any of our items. Reach out today with questions or ideas! Our Artisanal Finishes: 10 years in the making, we’ve achieved truly unique finishes that pay homage to history, while achieving the durability and consistency of today. All of our finishes are sealed with the highest quality hardening wax money can buy. 3 coats are applied and buffed by hand. Hardening wax provides the advantage of a deeper, more complex topcoat than paint or lacquer. It can also be reapplied to bring back lustre at any time. Other topcoats will chip or fade over time and cannot be reapplied without completely refinishing. After hundreds of tests and years of experience, this sealing method has proved to be the best of the best. It may not be fast, cheap or easy, but that’s not what we’re about. Oil Blackened: Satin black with light touches of grey, this finish allows the texture and forge work to come through. Our black oxide process penetrates into the metal, actually changing the color of the iron itself. This results in a deep, rich satin black that adds depth and character to the piece. Brushed Steel: This finish lies between a nickel/pewter hue with a satin sheen. It goes well with both modern and rustic decor. this is not a high shine, factory gloss kind of look. Some forge scale will be present which gives this finish a slightly antiqued/hand forged quality. Brass Brushed: This finish is achieved by heating the piece and hand brushing using a solid brass bristle brush. The brass integrates with the steel creating a very durable and amazingly beautiful darkened brass/bronze coloration. The brush strokes are visible, contributing a visual texture to this timeless look.
