Bar Stool With Back

Bar Stool With Back

The legs are forged from mild steel and finished with a wax coating. The feet are slightly "upset" (enlarged) to form a nice detail and secure footing. The back is slightly curved to be a comfortable fit. The seat is turned from cherry and is also slightly concave to fit comfortably. I usually make them 28" or 30" tall to the seat and 14" wide. But they can be made to any specification.

    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

Having started blacksmithing in 1978, I have developed a wide ranging and extensive portfolio. I am best known for my lamps with blown glass shades, but also make funcitonal work for the kitchen, bath and home in general. I also forge railings.

My personal style is organic in nature, but I enjoy working with clients to develop pieces that reflect their personality and interests, no matter the style.

    Roberta is very easy to work with and communicated with us from the beginning to ensure that the fireplace set we got was what we wanted. The work product is superb -- highly functional and absolutely beautiful. The set arrived today (well ahead of schedule) and is already being put to good use. More expensive than other "hand forged" sets on the market, but worth every penny to have an individual piece made with such a high level of craftsmanship.

    Communication with Roberta was great and she listened carefully to my requests. Together, we created the perfect piece for my needs. I'm very happy with it.

    My fireplace screen turned out so beautifully! It looks EXACTLY like my inspiration photo based on a restoration hardware style design, but made exactly to the size of my fireplace opening. Roberta was great to work with and I'd use her again in a heartbeat!!
