Bronze handrail

This railing was recently forged for a cabin retreat in western Wisconsin. The handrail and support brackets were frorged from bronze, resulting in an attractive look that will never need refinishing. The uprights, cut from structural steel, will be encouraged to rust. After about a year, they will be oiled, stopping the rust and creating a rich, dark texture. The contrasts in metals and textures are right at home in this rustic setting.
