Gold Winner:
Hess Ornamental Iron LLC
Felton, Pennsylvania

This steel project was created for a brand new restaurant renovation. The greatest challenge that the Hess Ornamental Iron team faced with this project was nailing down a design that would match the overall look of the "as-yet-to-be-finished" building. The large cast posts did not come as one piece, they had to be assembled, welded, and ground while maintaining a consistent surface to appear as one piece of metal. The black powder coating was antiqued and highlighted with a bronze-gold paint to give a rustic feel and to better match the clear coated bronze top cap. 

This project took approximately 210 hours of labor.
