Just beautiful Bob. And the little lizard detail is terrific. These are wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

That’s very clever. Looks great too. I like how it doesn’t block off the path completely because you can see through the gate.

Great design and well executed! I think I need to see them in person though. ROAD TRIP!

I’m with Charlie, I think they’d look better in person.

Those twigs are all crooked…I’m pretty good with twigs…Take me a couple of weeks to fix…no problem..whats the address?
I really like the design. Good work.

Great looking gates. What kind of finish did you put on them?

yup.. just had another look—I have no walls outside to attach a gate to but I’ll think of something!!! :D

Debbie how about to the basement stairs.

Great looking gates.

Thanks for the kind comments all. The finish is Cabot’s Australian timber oil. I built the 1st gate (the smaller one) about a year before the main gate. After shipping the main gates my brother asked if I would fly out and install them (tough duty I know). While I was out there I wiped down the 1st gate with the timber oil and it looked better than when I 1st completed it. Take a look at http://www.ponohouse.com/ and you’ll see where I got the inspiration for the raw cedar and copper. The house columns are all raw Ohia and all the gutters are copper.

See the additional photo. You can see where the idea for the lizard detail came from…lots of these little guys roaming around.
