About the service
I manufacture custom forged weather vanes — a decoration and at the same time a wind direction indicator for the roof of a house, gazebo, or dome. I work at the anvil: each detail — a silhouette of a rooster, ship, horse, arrow, or any other shape according to your sketch — I draw out and hand-forge, rather than cut on a machine.
The weather vane is balanced on a low-friction spindle, so it rotates freely and accurately shows wind direction even with a light breeze. Letters of the cardinal directions (N, S, E, W) I forge as separate decorative elements in a unified style with the figure, not glue stamped overlays. I select fasteners to match your roof ridge, dome, or chimney pipe, and cover the finished product with weather-resistant coating so the weather vane does not rust or fade in rain, snow and sun for many years.
What is included in the order:
— Design consultation and sketch of the chosen silhouette
— Forged figure and directional arrow pointer
— Cardinal direction letters, forged in a unified style
— Weather-resistant coating and fasteners for your roof or dome
