CELTIC HEART

The above picture is of the tile framed for hanging. In this case the woods used are Oak and Walnut, and as of the end of 2007 two have been framed in this manner. If this is of interest to you, please contact me and we can discuss the woods used and the price of the frame and mounting.

Pictured below is the same tile after it had been flattened and all the machine work was finished and a black patina was applied to the tile as a whole. The knot portion was then sanded off and close to ready for the final patina on the knot. I picture this here for those that prefer the tile for a floor accent piece since the patina on the knot would get scuffed off eventually. For this reason the floor tiles are usually ordered with the background black patina and the knot portion polished left as raw metal. After waxing the background is a distinct black, and the knot is a bright gold.

The tile, itself, is the same size as a normal 8" or 6" ceramic tile, so it can fit nicely into an entry way, kitchen back splash, above a fireplace, or inset into a rock wall bordering the drive. It can also be tapped and drilled and can be attached from the back. This option is an additional charge. The patina varies from tile to tile, and can be specified as to color and depth, within the limits of normal bronze colors, i.e. brown, black, gold, chestnut, and a reddish-brown.
