Chevelle Etched


Another etched buckle. Logo for the band Chevelle.

Handmade Etch


This is a fairly new process for me. Salt water etching. I can etch almost any image as long as it is like a silhouette.

Garage Door Hardware


These were faux handles attached to the front of a faux garage door. The customer enclosed his garage but wanted the door to look like functional barn doors. I added the handles and hinges.


Faux hinge plates. Painted black, hammered edge.

Redfish Tail

This was one of many images sent me for this custom buckle. This request was a challenge. I went back and forth with the customer trying to get the details right.

The finished product. Made from 3/8ths flat bar. Forged fish tail and stamped scales. Hole drilled for the black dot and the hole filled with a round bar. Rust patina finish. Clear lacquer.



Fish hooks

Cut by hand with an acetylene torch. This fish silhouette was a birthday gift. Great for hanging keys or whatever. I can easily cut any other fish design as well.

J&K Logo


This is a logo for a photography company. Hand cut letters. Painted white and black.

Horseshoe Wall Hook


A fun project for me. I haven't done much cowboy stuff. I was provided the shoes from a friend who had saved them from her families personal horses. So they had sentimental value as well. Rust patina, wax finish.
