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.

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.
