When the Alamance County Visitor's Center wanted to celebrate the year of the woman, they chose seven local entrepreneurs who have inspired Alamance County.

Through the years, we've loved working with Cook Children's Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas. We created a rooftop garden for their NICU unit. We crafted pieces that are in their prayer garden. We've spruced up their butterfly net. And they've crafted a Lego model of their hospital - including things we've made for them! On our most recent trip to Cook, we created a bench, and … [Read more...]

These lovely birds were created to perch in a gazebo in a Doral, Florida neighborhood. To create them, we first made a model using jeweler's wax. Then we made a 3D scan for our CAD program. The design is scaled to make the cross sections that create the wooden "buck". The buck is a form - like a dress form - that we use to know how to shape the metal. We … [Read more...]

Homeowners Amy and her husband Geoff received one of Beechwood’s unique pieces of yard art, a Koi fish, from a friend as a gift. The couple, who has 9 dogs and a large fenced yard area, was looking for a grand entrance piece to showcase the … [Read more...]

Beechwood Metalworks is known for our beautiful yard art and custom creatures, but our recent trip to Dallas had us working together to create a house - one that love built. We were delighted to partner with one of our previous customers, The Ronald McDonald House Organization. The Ronald McDonald House is an organization whose purpose is to “create, find, and support … [Read more...]

When we say our projects are one-of-a-kind, we mean it. As custom metal fabricators, when one of our customers has a taste for something special, we toss around ideas until we concoct something that hits the spot perfectly. The latest fruit of our labor was cooked up for the Poe Center for Health Education in Raleigh, NC, an example of how our work can tempt you to eat right … [Read more...]
