Me with the 'Been Spotted' design

If you have made the decision to accent your home or business with something original, something totally you... Then I would love to help.   

My name is Jody Lampman.  I am an artist & sculptor working in iron, wood and clay to create original, lasting, and  functional decor .  I was born in Montana and have always lived in the Western United States.   My whole life, I have been developing my talents while being influenced by the people and traditions of the west.  The majority of my work is western and wildlife, but I am versatile, and enjoy other subjects as well.

I can do wonderful things with iron, clay or wood. You will be surprised at how good they can replicate your designs.

 

In places where people love rustic culture and design, wood doors offer traditional and natural beauty in the overall appeal of a home. You can find wood doors ranging from tropical, to classic, to Victorian, to modern, contemporary styles. By selecting the proper finish and complementing hardware to wooden doors , homeowners are able to come up with the most perfect looking house according to their needs, wants and lifestyle. For those who are going green and are into the use of eco-friendly materials, there are eco- friendly wooden door provided for by sustainable lumber sources. Check out your local green furniture store, if you have any, or go online and search for one. You may need to pay premium price for doors like this but it would be very worth it. Exceptional doors last longer and are a big help to the environment as well.

Unlike iron or steel, aluminum is intrinsically resistant to rust, which makes it the better choice for metal stairs. However, corrosion can be delayed by the process of galvanization


Galvanization is commonly used to help iron prevent its surface from rusting. It entails adding a thin layer of zinc to the denser base metal like iron to protect it from being exposed to oxygen molecules that speed up corrosion. Take a look at the street signs and the metal stairs in buildings the next time you're strolling on a sidewalk. A good percentage of them would have that silver tinge. The "silver" is simply a zinc coating.


Why Metal Stairs are Better

Top 3 Reasons to Install Metal Staircases


#1. The Biggest Advantage is Extreme Flexibility


Anyone can extrude metal stairs in almost any size and form. A style is only an artistic matter of choice; whether it's simple, sleek, antique, or contemporary, the design possibilities are unlimited.


Stainless steel, aluminum, and iron are commonly used as standard metal staircase components. Different metals provide varying advantages, and our team partners with our clients to choose the right choice for each project.


#2. No Need for Constant Upkeep


Metal stairs also are highly resistant to wear and tear, making them ideal for low-maintenance outdoor commercial applications. A metal stair would not need sealing, varnish, or stain.


#3. Almost Close to Permanent Use


Metal-based stairs require minimal care to have long-lasting results. Metallic stairs are a perfect choice for use indoors and outside because they are convenient and can withstand severe temperature fluctuations and humidity.

I will design and build almost anything we can conjure up.  I take pride in developing your ideas to create works that make a statement all your own.  A Big Iron Design makes a great conversation piece...  it will get noticed.
