is that chest made from concrete, or reclaimed wood?  or even concrete made to look like reclaimed wood?  whichever, very nice work!  where did you get the iron work?  looking for some nice forgings for the carriage doors on the barn i'm building.  can you give me any pointers?

i may take you up on that?  how far is shipping to cleveland.  btw, the barn i'm doing, look at the carriage doors.  i used some hinges from king and had a local fab shop modify them for me.  each leaf of the door is 1200 pounds, and they open with one hand.

I will have to keep your talents on file as I find that this piece and the doors you have done are very impressive. When the time comes to remodel my home these items are of interest. I would also like to promote these pieces to clients/designers as well.... they are very impressive!
