This wide (54" x 58") walkway gate will be mounted between two stone columns in the entry to a home surrounded by olive orchards. This steel armature will be sheathed in 3/4" wood on both sides and faux painted.The gate will be hung on simple pintel hinges drilled into the rock.All forged steel.
I have wire brushed the branches to accentuate the highlights and sprayed it with a KRYLON clearcoat finish,but that is intended to break through and develop a natural rust patina within several months (depending on the weather).

Very nice work. I mostly do wild grape vines or green ash trees. Olives look like they split the difference in the supple aspects.

BTW, I think I have the same model MIG in my shop. :)

I'm using that new Lincoln welder only until I get my old Miller 200 workhorse fixed.It's actually a pretty nice machine,especially the roller design which allows you to change wire thickness without changing roller spools...but it's a wimp compared to my old Miller...
Oh,and olives DO indeed split the difference.I have a HUGE (sliding)grape leaf gate coming up next which will have grape clusters as well,with a lower panel of forged grasses...Stay tuned.
