How It's Made:

Our flower head bolts start out as high quality blanks, made from solid steel in standard sizes. The blanks are heated in our forge, then the real work begins. Our blacksmiths hand-hammer the red-hot lag heads into our signature flower shape in an incredibly detailed process. Once the lags have cooled, they move on to the paint stage, when our skilled painter applies finishes by hand to meet your specifications.

Flower Head Lag Screws – Collection FAQs

1. What are flower head lag screws used for?
Flower head lag screws are decorative structural fasteners perfect for furniture, gates, cabinetry, barn doors, pergolas, and rustic or artisan-style woodworking where both beauty and strength matter.

2. How do these differ from regular lag screws?
Unlike standard hex lags, our flower head screws feature a sculpted, hand-detailed head that adds Old World charm. They provide the same strength and holding power but with a custom forged appearance.

3. What size lag screw should I choose?
Select a screw long enough to penetrate at least half the thickness of the timber or wood you’re fastening. For decorative applications, choose a head diameter scaled to your project for balanced visual proportion.

4. What finishes and textures are available?
Each screw head can be finished in matte black, oil-rubbed bronze, antique iron, or hand-distressed textures. Many styles are individually worked by our blacksmiths for a rugged, historically inspired look.

5. Are these screws hand-forged?
Our decorative heads are hand-finished and textured in-house to replicate true wrought iron detailing. The lag threads are precision-machined for strength, then married with our hand-applied finishes.

6. What are the lead times and where are they made?
Most decorative lag screws ship within 1–10 business days depending on finish and quantity. All flower head screws are made or finished in the USA by our team here in Idaho.
