Living metal bar tops, edges and one-offs, in service

Every project here started with a drawing, a sample request, or a bar that kept failing. Each brief covers what the client needed, what made it hard, and how we built it in zinc, brass, or copper over a waterproof core, designed and made in Hickory, North Carolina.
