How It's Made:

Our flower head bolts are made from solid steel blanks, which ensures that each bolt is made in the the proper standard size and grade. Our blacksmiths heat the bolts in the forge until the metal is pliable enough to work with, then painstakingly hammer them into our signature flower shape. Once the bolts have cooled, our painter applies your chosen patina by hand.

Flower head bolts are decorative through-bolts designed for furniture, cabinetry, gates, timber framing, barn doors, and artisan woodworking projects where both strength and visual detailing matter.

Flower head bolts come in multiple finish options including matte black, oil-rubbed bronze, natural iron, and hand-distressed textures. Many designs are individually worked to achieve a forged, historic look.
