Just finished and installed this driveway gate... First big gate I've made... I approached it pretty cautiously to begin... Not knowing really how the metal might warp with welding... Finally done... Of course, sold it too cheap...  The horse heads are meant to look like a Friesian horse.  All the parts of this gate were forged or manipulated by my own hands... Couldn't find the slow twist 1/2" square bar locally, so twisted 1018... Had to normalize first so it would twist...

Lookin' good Lynn!

 

Is the horse head integral with the rosette or is it overlaid?

No matter where you go... there you are.

Thanks Lee:
The horse head is overlaid on the rosette.  I forged 13 horse heads to get the four that I wanted... Gotta be nuts...
