The smallest details can sometimes reveal the larger stories about a company, for instance, the fact that Stone County Ironworks refuse to weld imported stamped leafs onto their products This embodies the true art of the black-smithing. Forging a leaf is an old, traditional blacksmith technique and represents the skill of an experienced blacksmith. Each hand forged leaf is different from the next, as it is in nature and just as it should be. These differences are the signatures of individual blacksmiths. There are easier ways to make a leaf, or any of their designs, but hand forging is the authentic way, and it is the only way for the specialists at Stone County Ironworks.
We're proud to have manufacturing alliances with companies like the folks at Stone County Iron Works, who believe in green practices, recycled materials and words like "non toxic." Their hand forged iron furniture, seating, tables, home decor, lamps, fireplace tools and more are the benchmark for everlasting quality. And they do it the old-fashioned way - with manpower versus machine.

Iron -Stone County Ironworks products are built using hot-rolled iron and hot-forging techniques. By using these techniques, some scaling is produced in the finished texture. This is characteristic of hand-forged iron. Because the Blacksmiths produce each product by hand, each finished item is always a unique piece, not exactly identical to any other. The time-honored techniques of forging, bending, cutting, and welding, leave tool marks on the metal. These variations are additional hallmarks of handcrafted iron. To maintain the beauty and luster of your iron furnishing, we recommend a regular buffing with a soft, lint-free cloth and an occasional application of furniture wax to clean and maintain the finish.
