Wow. Today we had some visitors…A son, a daughter, a cute little granddaughter and a widow who misses her man. Bryan, the son, had wanted to find a way to honor the life and passion of his recently departed father. His dad loved Mountain View, he loved mountain music, and he admired the art of blacksmithing. So, being an animator and designer who works in the movie industry in LA, he designed the perfect memorial...a very unique park bench with musical notes and a plaque honoring his dad. And then Bryan commissioned Stone County Ironworks to build it. And we did.
It looks wonderful, sitting in a prized location where the bluegrass pickers gather every evening to work their magic in the cool mountain air...downtown by the square, here in the bluegrass capitol of the planet. But today, the family flew and drove to our peaceful town in the hills, and saw the bench for the first time. It brought tears. We are grateful to be a part of a young man's quest to honor his dad. They toured the forge. Took lots of pictures, and left feeling both fulfilled and a little empty. Dad would have loved everything about what we do. Stone County Ironworks really is a very special place.
