Details make the piece. Hand-forged handle and latch set for a client’s handrail — solid steel, built to outlast the wood it’s on.

New piece just finished — a large wall-mounted firewood rack, hand-welded from steel.

This one holds a full week's worth of split wood without needing a refill, and mounts flush to the wall so it's not eating up floor space. Like everything else out of the shop, it's built one at a time — no templates, no laser cutter, just flat stock cut, bent, and welded by hand until it's solid.

14.5" x 12" x 48". Made to order, about 2 weeks turnaround.

Local pickup available in Nevada City / Grass Valley, or order online here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4564510766/large-wall-mounted-log-rack-firewood

New from the shop: Topograin — hand-bent steel wall art inspired by topographic contour lines.

No laser cutters, no templates. Every curve in this piece was shaped by hand, one bar at a time, right here in Nevada City. It's a different way to bring the mountains into your home — solid steel, built to last.

Now available on Etsy, made-to-order or ready-to-ship. Link below if you want to take a look 👇
