Big Blackfoot Rocker #1

$3,800

Salvaged and reclaimed from the Big Blackfoot River in western Montana, wagon tire iron is reforged into a rocker frame and reclaimed Ponderosa pine timbers from the Bonner dam is used for the back rest and seat. The dam was laid in 1889 to provide power for the Big Blackfoot Milling Co's sawmill, a flour mill and a holding log pool for logs sent afloat by loggers miles upstream.

      Darin was amazing to work with - so nice and accommodating and easy to communicate with. The branch railing he made for our staircase is gorgeous and a work of art. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Darin and Hellgate Forge.
