 Gates at the Biltmore Estate
Here are some pictures of the gates around the Biltmore Estate in Biltmore North Carolina. The really awesome work was inside, but I could not take pictures in the actual estate!     Peyton

Pass with honours. Pretty good stuff in my book. But my mentors would have a little giggle at the wheel holding up the gate. "The boss'd always say if our gates needed a wheel they're no bloody good!" Apparently he thought it an insult to his ability as a smith. I reckon if it will help the gate in lasting a thousand years rather than only 500 all the better.
