I love the fact that we do custom designs for people and projects. It has a way of keeping us sharper. We benefit from all of the creative energy...we get to work with great designers...we develop new ways to approach the iron business and it make it a lot of fun. We have a large customer who has a role...and individual who travels the globe looking for interesting objects as inspiration. They found an ancient iron clock face...yes a clock face...kind of like a Big Ben clock face. It was old and rusty...the white paint discolored and chipped with age and exposure to the elements.
Well, they decided to make a headboard from the old clock, and then approached Stone County to see if we could replicate it for them. Wow...what a challenge. Not the iron so much. That was doable...but the finish? Well we did it. And it is AWESOME! Our finish artisans were able to replicate wear, cracking, chips, rust... I am so fortunate to be surrounded with great people who love the craft. We want to use our skills to make people happy. When we make the complete bed I will try to let you have a peek!
