Weather Vanes,signs
and Garden items
This weather vane I made for myself, aside from creating in the workshop I have an obsession with water and sailing. All our weather vanes are sensitive to the slightest of breeze and run on camshaft bearings.
This small forged sign bracket has some interesting detail in it
The great thing about making your own scrolls and forged detailing is that the different designs are endless.
The scrolls in this sign have forged fish tailed ends. The main back plate has detailing to resemble a tree. Because of the size of the sign that will hang from this bracket, it has stays out each side to keep it stable in high winds.
This weather vane has a large ornamental bracket to give it some height away from the roof pitch, this gives it clean air away from the turbulence caused by the air moving over the roof.
This weather vane has been fitted to the gable end of this property. The couple that brought this weather vane were in Torbay on holiday. They complained that they could only find unsubstantial weather vanes, they inquired as to whether we had any for sale. We explained that we only make to order, so they placed an order and we posted it to them. A few months later they sent us a picture, note the bracket that screws on the gable end of the property, everything that Oak Tree makes is substantial
