Count down





   The free standing letters I make are popular items at the Black Falcon Fabrication booth, so I am adding numbers to the mix.  Plasma cut by hand from 18 gauge steel each number stands about 5 3/4 inches tall. A few passes with a grinder creates a textured surface that reflects light in interesting ways.

   If you are looking for a cool way to display your lucky numbers be sure to stop by Antiques in Milton at 109 Union Street Milton, Delaware. Look for the Black Falcon Fabrication booth towards the back of the store.

Follow the arrow to home cookin'




     Everybody likes a good meal. Point them in the right direction with a custom built sign. Hand built from sturdy steel this piece is sure to get attention. Distressed and chalky red paint with hand painted white letters add to the vintage feel. The arrow hangs from a black hand crafted wall mount bracket. The sign pictured measures in at about 2 feet long but other sizes can be made to fit your needs. The paint color and message can be customized too. As with all Black Falcon Fabrication pieces no two are exactly the same ensuring a unique work of usable art.

    Available for purchase at Antiques in Milton located at 109 Union Street Milton, DE. If you would like to discuss having a sign like this built for you please email me at mattpiccolo@yahoo.com

Tall 2 Door











Standing nearly 40 inches tall this storage cabinet will make a bold statement in any room. Small details are everywhere on these piece. From the hammered straps across the door stops to the hand stamped hinges there is something to see at every corner. Inside you will find two adjustable shelves constructed of steel and a bottom shelf made from salvaged barn wood. Outside the beaded steel sides have the perfect amount of patina sealed with a flat clear coat.  The top has more barn wood surrounded by sturdy steel angle with silicone bronze welded corners.

This storage cabinet has been sold. Please inquire about having a piece custom built to fit your needs.

Free Standing Letters




These free standing letters are a fun way to display your initials or to add just the right word to a room. "Eat" works great in the kitchen and words like "Smile", "Laugh" and "Love" are perfect for the family room and other parts of the house. Made from 16 gauge steel and measuring about 11 inches tall the letters can be left raw as they are or you can paint them the color of your choice.

Library Cabinet





Antique barn wood and steel are combined again in the construction of this library cabinet. The beaded steel sides were plug welded with silicone bronze leaving just a hint of brass at each weld. The corners of the cabinet top received the same weld technique and were ground smooth adding just the right amount of detail. The original faced barn boards that make up the top and shelves were lightly sanded and then polished with a colored wax.

This style of cabinet can be built in different widths and heights to fit your needs.
