A glimpse of what’s going on in the shop these days — a driveway gate & walk-through gate for clients who run a lavender farm in Woodinville, Washington. As they prepare to open their farm to the public they need a stout & eye-catching driveway gate to 1) attract, impress & spark curiosity as people drive by along the busy road in front of their property, and 2) keep the public away from their property during non-business hours.
The basic design, without artistic components, looks like this:
The panels will be variegated black, achieved via a chemical patina process, and the frames will be finished with a textured rust powder coat.
The really fun part will be adding the artistic elements – realistic looking lavender bunches that pop out from the black panels. Stay tuned for how we create these sprigs in bronze.

More later as the work continues. Come back and see!
You guys rock! I can’t wait to watch this gate and fence “unfold” – already quite lovely!
Thank you, Kristina. We will be sure to post more pictures as the project “unfolds”.
Hi, I just came across your site-this gate looks really great! Keep up with the good work!
