Stone County Ironworks is
America's
Blacksmith Shop™,
using traditional hand forging techniques to create iron
furniture and accessories, one at a time. Quality worksmanship
that reflects the skill of the blacksmith continues to set us
apart from other manufacturers.
Stone County Ironworks in Mountain
View, Arkansas was begun in an old gas station in 1979 by one
blacksmith, who apprenticed and demonstrated the craft at the
Ozark Folk Center in 1976. Early sales were at retail craft
shows, but by 1984 wholesale accounts were the focus, with the
help of 9 employees. That year a 5000 square foot building was
erected with the assistance of local government agencies who
sought to create opportunity in the area.
In 1989 the first Furniture
Collection was showcased at an Interior Design trade show, and
after rave reviews, was featured in the 1990 catalog. By then,
33,000 square feet of production and office space and over 100
employees handled 3000 wholesale accounts. A showroom and
outlet store opened on the Square in downtown Mountain View in
a beautiful stone building on the National Historic Register.
Also, in the December 1990 issue of Inc. Magazine, Stone
County Ironworks was rated #252 on the annual list of the 500
fastest growing privately held companies in the nation.
By 2003, after reorganization and
consolidation of resources, the Stone County Ironworks
facility at 408 Ironworks Drive was purchased by a local
business leader. Metal
Creations, Inc. dba Stone County Ironworks is committed to
returning to our roots, with the reputation and standards of
Made in America quality and satisfaction.
The Pine Collection, Vineyard Collection, and the Designer
Series, designed by the Daniel Stuart Studio, are new product
lines created under new management, as we rekindle the spark
of excitement and pride in workmanship learned here in Stone
County.
