A Tribute to the Outback: Handcrafted Weathering Steel Western Art
Capture the spirit of the Australian outback with this exceptional weathering steel metal art, featuring a classic Western hat resting on a detailed cowboy boot. 100% Australian Made by skilled local artisans, this piece combines rugged durability with timeless design.
Measuring a commanding 495mm High x 310mm Wide (plus the length of the garden stake), this is a significant and eye-catching feature for any exterior or even interior space. It's crafted from premium weathering steel (often referred to as Cor-Ten), a specialized high-strength steel. This material is designed to form a stable, beautiful, rust-like oxide layer on its surface upon exposure to the elements. Far from being a flaw, this self-protecting patina is incredibly good quality; it seals the base steel, preventing deep corrosion and eliminating the need for painting. Your piece is guaranteed to last for decades, developing a richer, deeper, and more unique character as the years go by.
A Versatile Addition to Your World
This stunning Western-themed art is incredibly versatile. Display options are as open as the plains:
In the Garden: Use the integrated stake to secure it directly into a garden bed, a planter box, or along a path.
As a Wall Feature: For a clean, modern look, you can request a version without the stake and mount it flush to an exterior wall, fence, or even an indoor feature wall using stand-offs. (Note: Weathering steel runoff can stain surfaces initially, so mounting considerations are important).
Mounted on Timber: Mount the piece onto a rustic, weathered timber post or a cross-section of a tree trunk to create a unique, stand-alone sculpture.
Customize Your Finish
We want you to love your art as it grows with you. However, if you prefer a cleaner, non-rusted look? You can request a fresh-cut raw metal version and we will accommodate you if it is possible. Simply apply a rust inhibitor (available from Bunnings) to maintain the silver metal finish — just reapply as needed to keep this appearance. This allows for a contemporary, industrial look while retaining the intricate design.
