These heavy metal sculptural bookends are made from reclaimed steel square tubing and large salvaged nuts and bolts. I have included a salvages steel wrench as well to add a bit of character for fun. If you like a more minimal look, then you can just remove the wrench as it just rests in the tubing and is not attached. I intentionally left some of the welds visible on the bottom to add a bit of detail to the industrial feel.
To create the finish I sandblast them, then acid wash them with a black mid-night acid. I then hand rub them with a black hardening wax to give them a nice industrial looking finish. Finally, on the bottom, I add a thin piece of cork to avoid surface scratching.
These are great looking in the right space and very heavy. They each weigh approximately 10.5 lbs., so they will hold really large books with ease. They are 8.25" tall x 6.5" wide x 4" deep. The bookends can also be oriented in different positions allow you to choose the style you like.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. As always, FREE shipping.
Take care,
Andy
