Michigan State Mountain Bike Raw Steel Ornament Sustainable

Sized approximately 3.75" wide by 3.5" tall
RAW STEEL MATERIAL: We use raw industrial steel, which is the most recycled material in the world. The color, shades, and variations in the raw steel (raw metal) appearance varies from sheet to sheet. Due to the nature of working with this material each piece will likely vary from the picture. Variations may consist of spots, grain-like patterns, specks, color, etc.

****PLEASE NOTE*****
Please make sure that you fill in the correct shipping address at the time of purchase in the provided shipping information section (not the special notes), or the destination of your order is not guaranteed.

Each piece is thoughtfully designed and created from scratch by husband and wife team, Brandon and Erin Spangler, in rural north Georgia.

Our creations are made out of 14 gauge hot-rolled mild steel covered with a thin layer of black oxide (magnetite) which is responsible for its dark gray/bluish tint. While this provides a level of protection against corrosion, a beautiful patina of rust can be brought out by a minimal amount of exposure to humidity. If the rust is unwelcome you may rub grade 3 coarse steel wool over the top to remove any and/or all rust.

Metals are inherently recyclable and can be used over and over again, minimizing their negative environmental impacts and saving energy. So please keep in mind that each piece may vary from the picture as our raw metal is created from recycled steel giving little variations (such as color) to each sheet.

After each piece is cut using our CNC table then hand ground to a finish giving a handmade quality to each metal creation. After we hand tie a burlap twine to the top completing the ornament.
