Functional Art done right
We start from whatever art direction exists: a rendering, a reference photo, a pattern, or an idea described over the phone. The design gets drawn, cut, and fabricated in our shop, with the structure engineered like everything else we build. Where the setting calls for it, we work with reclaimed wood and antique metal components.
A piece that reads as art and functions as the gate, railing, or feature it replaces. The artwork is cut and finished to hold up outdoors, and the fabrication behind it is the same quality we put into structural work.



Common projects
Entry gates as signature pieces
Gates that carry the property's identity: animals, brands, landscape scenes, or geometric patterns cut into the panel. Built with the hinges, latching, and structure of a working gate.
Railing with custom panels
Railing runs with figure and pattern panels worked into the design, matched across gates and sections. A recent ranch project paired thunderbird gates with railing panels of custom animal figures.
Artwork from your rendering
A drawing, a rendering, or an artist's sketch translated to cut steel. A recent project turned client renderings into finished artwork panels, color matched to the existing ironwork they joined.
Rustic and reclaimed builds
Pieces built with reclaimed wood and antique metal components for properties where new steel would look out of place.
If your project is not listed here, call and describe it. We take on a wide range of custom welding and fabrication work.

“They came over to my job and fabricated some railing and gate to match existing. Outstanding job matching the design. Would highly recommend.”
“Amazing and professional job. We expanded our deck and needed new metal railings plus a gate with a Native American thunderbird on it. The challenge was matching existing railing fabricated over 20 years ago and creating artwork panels from renderings, and making it look like it was all made at the same time. It came out amazing, right down to color matching the paint on the railings.”
