Ranch Gate near Houston, Texas

Installed a gate for an urban rancher.  Lines of gate are like "bluffs" off in the horizon. 
 Client wanted white paint, though we tried to discourage this.  White will fade and get dirty and cause alot of grief.  Black or bronze is always a better choice. 
Interesting point:  the letter "A" was fabricated in our shop using flat bar and set inside a rolled flat bar circle.
Usually, you would find a letter like this machine cut or stamped.  
Handmade like this one, has a bit more "umphh"
and line weight.  Might even make you look at it twice.

Here's something fresh off the factory floor.

This is a decorative window grille for a wine tasting room in a Bellaire,Texas home.

This grille will set into a frame, over double pane glass.

Matching door....photos to follow.

Paint finish by others.
