Unless a particular finish or paint color is specified/requested, all items in my shop will have a natural linseed oil/wax finish. This protects the metal from the elements. We love the way this finish brings out the beauty in the wrought iron. If you ask, yes, this is what we recommend!

CARE: To care for your new hand forged iron which has been finished with the oil/wax (see above "FINISH"), all you need to do is rub down the metal with a clean cloth. Rub it down until you do not get any more oil to come off. This will prevent any oil from rubbing off onto your clothing or towels. To maintain, we ask that you apply a new coat of oil/wax to your ironwork once a year. After you hand-rub the oil/wax on, wait 30 minutes. After it has cured, you simply get a clean cloth and rub it down until no more oil comes off. This will protect it from the elements for quite some time. Thank you for TAKING CARE OF your hand forged ironwork.
