Dilbeck Metalsmithing
John Dilbeck comes from a long line of blacksmiths. Now, instead of doing what my ancestors did, I specialize in taking automobile body panels that are destined to the junkyard, and through the application of fire and thousands of hammer blows, I transform these deformed hunks of steel into beautiful Steel Roses That Never Wilt. My website has pictures of the final product and a step-by-step discussion of how I make them. You are cordially invited to visit JohnDilbeck.com.

Large Steel Rose

The leaf is composed of three leaflets brazed to fourteen-gauge wire. The blossom is made of twenty-five petals and is approximately six inches in diameter. Price: $500.00

The blossom is made of fifteen petals and is approximately four to four-and-a-quarter inches in diameter. Price: $200.00
