ThomasPowers Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Lovely I like the elegance of the lower gate a lot! For the upper gate---how about just a couple of inches of a fish rising up with a golf ball in it's mouth at the base? Using the top of the bottom bar as the surface of the water...

ThomasPowers Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Could a golf ball be worked into the gate latch handle? They are easy to drill into and lag bolt if you don't use a liquid center one. I really think the mixed metals makes the pieces "pop" visually. The lower gate emphasizes the "delicacy" of steel vs cast iron ornamentation.

Cannon Cocker Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I really like the bottom gate. The combination of materials really "pops" beautifully! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
