Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I am a retired engineer, residing in Round Rock, TX, who discovered the joy of metal art in 2011. I am currently into "Trees of Life" but also design and build almost anything out of metal (decorative iron gates, handrails, custom creations, etc.). Commission pieces are welcomed.
All my pieces are HAND MADE pieces of art, approximately 24” in diameter (custom pieces up to 48” diameter), or oval approximately 24”x 36 (custom pieces up to 48” x 72”). Each piece is cut out of 16 ga. steel, by hand, with a plasma cutter and the band is hand rolled. These are hand-made in my shop, one at a time so there will be slight differences between each one I make. I feel this makes each one a true original! Each piece is POWDER COATED in any color you desire, then clear coated, and signed and dated by me
As is usually the case, the pictures do not do this piece justice. Metal is very hard to photograph. I assure you, you will not be disappointed with your purchase of this piece!
