Pine Tree Wrought Iron Gate



Seems like everyone wants an organic design for their lake house these days.  Here is a design I drew up for a 7 acre property entrance.  If you look up close, you can see that the gates will split in the middle.  The lake house is surrounded by pine trees, hence the name, PineKnot.  The columns will be forged out to look like tall pine stumps, and the  gates themselves will look like shorter branches of the trees.  We will also forge out the pine needles and a few pine cones.  The entire design will be custom forged out in wrought iron.  We will also custom design and produce the matching electric lanterns which will hang on the tree stump limbs on either side of the gate.  The final look will  be quite whimsy and artistic; very unusual, which is what we were going for.  Can't wait to see it in metal.

Contemporary Display Shelves

Check out the custom metal/wood mix display shelving units we just fabricated for the Convention Center Omni Hotel in Dallas, Texas.  Aren't they neat?  I think that Katie from Vivian | Nichols had such a great concept; they are interesting, clean, and very functional.  We made the units so that each shelf could be adjusted up or down, depending on what was placed on them.  Yet another great project for the Omni!
