Finishes:
- Paint-ready: Item is built and prepped to our specs prior to receiving a paint finish…cleaned with alcohol and wrapped in paper. They are not “sealed”. Items selected for “paint-ready” may have some meal discoloration in varying shades of grays, blues and browns (rust staining). None are guaranteed nor unlikely. Rust stain is not rusting metal. However, if left unprotected, they can and will soon show signs of rust in humid locations. Re-prep prior to painting by wiping entire surface with a light rag or T-shirt, lightly damped with isopropyl alcohol. Paint once dry.
- Flat Black: An opaque paint finish that provides a soft and even appearance. This finish is highly durable. Can be used as an interior or exterior finish.
- Satin Black: An opaque paint finish that highlights the evidence of the blacksmithing process. This finish is highly durable. Can be used as an interior or exterior finish.

Forged Unfinished: Provides no barrier to rust or moisture, but allows you to paint or finish your brackets however you desire. Rust may form over time, depending on the level of moisture your brackets are exposed to. Finish them yourself, the way you want! Forged items have a mildly tortured and rustic appearance and texture as a result of being heated to over 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. The texture/appearance is unpredictable with random and unique markings that occur naturally within the process. Forge-fired items are fully heated, wire-brushed and finished with your choice of finish.
- Forged Linseed Oil: Our most authentic-looking finish in a deep, dark tone. This finish is translucent, so the character of the metal is still visible. Linseed oil is ideal as an interior finish.Forge-fired items have a mildly tortured and rustic appearance and texture as a result of being heated to over 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. The texture/appearance is unpredictable with random and unique markings that occur naturally within the process. Forge-fired items are fully heated, wire-brushed and finished with your choice of finish.

Forged Clear Coat: A transparent paint and modern finish. Appropriate for all applications. Clear coat provides an authentic look since the character of the metal is fully visible throughout. Can be used as an interior or exterior finish. Forge-fired items have a mildly tortured and rustic appearance and texture as a result of being heated to over 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. The texture/appearance is unpredictable with random and unique markings that occur naturally within the process. Forge-fired items are fully heated, wire-brushed and finished with your choice of finish.
Fine Print: We go to great lengths to deliver a consistent, precise product. However, minor measurement differences can be expected as each bracket is made by hand, one at a time. Hammer and anvil marks may be evident and are a normal, beautiful effect of the process. Unseen surfaces may have evidence of rivet and/or welding but this won't hamper the use or strength of the piece.

If UPS or FedEx is required, additional shipping costs are likely to be incurred...this is the responsibility of the purchaser. Please email us to make arrangements.
