Puddled Wrought Iron

$1

Like the charcoal iron of early man, puddled wrought iron was the steel of the industrial revolution. A wood grain appearance results in the refining process where silica is captured intermittently in the iron. Not manufactured currently, items forged from puddled wrought iron provide an added texture and appeal over mild steel. Handle detail shows a material twist that adds an extra element to the flow and shape. Bolt heads and hook are 150 year old forgings showing grain (in the curve of the hook) and the forge weld from wrapping material around round stock to make the bolt head. If you look closely you can see the weld in the corner.

      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.

      For looking for a log stamping Hammer
      5.0

      Hellgate is GREAT! They kept me up to date on each and every step of the process. This hammer looks exactly as I had imagined it. The handle is perfect length to get a good swing at the log and imprint the company's logo. I will suggest friends take a look at this company for any products they need created. Thank you again for the great work!
