Iron Mustang and the furniture were proud to be in their first parade on the
4th of July in Red Feather Lakes, CO.
We had 6 girls on the trailer throwing out candy,  
 they ran out before we made it a quarter of the way.
The parade lasted about 3 minutes.

Where in the World is Stone 2 Furniture?

Stanley Hotel

 We are sooo excited to have furniture at The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO.
Here I am with upper management talking about what a great fit this is for  their beautiful courtyard that they have put so much work into.
 

The Stanley Hotel is a famous historical property located near Rocky Mountain National Park. It was built in 1909 by F.O. Stanley it is famous for its architecture and its inspirational role in Stephen King's novel "The Shining".

Dwayne's Bio 
Dwayne Welding on Gate 
As a child Dwayne spent hours cutting and shaping pieces of cardboard paper to create 3D models of motorcycles. Carefully forming each part to fit the bike perfectly and create a replica of an authentic motorcycle. Dwayne's artist talents emerged at a very young age. A self taught artist Dwayne S. Cranford, a Colorado native learned his welding kills in a foundry and took them with him to serve in the United States Army. Later Dwayne spent his days installing natural gas pipeline. On his days off,  as a hobby he began applying his welding skills to create steel sculptures. His figurative sculptures are created from materials  such as bike chains, concrete nails and scrap steel that had been discarded. 7 years ago he began combining stone with the metal to create durable, weatherproof furniture.

Cranford's work has been shown around Colorado, Nevada, California, Texas, Wyoming and in other parts of the United States. It can be found at The Inn At Aspen, Aspen (CO), The Best Western Pioneer Court, Lusk (WY) and numerous private collections. 

Artist Statement

My rock chairs have been compared to something found on the set of the Flintstones, but great care is given to ensure they are both aesthetically pleasing and comfortable. The stone added to discarded steel results in functional furniture inspired by Mother Nature. They are not only weatherproof, but integrate easily into landscapes and cityscapes without intruding on the surrounding beauty.
 
 
Notes From Our Customers:
 
Happy Father's Day...
I hope you get to go fishing...fishing is what soothes my soul! Along with
your furniture....
Best,

This setting has needed something for along time, and this is exactly what it needed.

We are excited for the future, hope good things are to come for everyone!
 
I work hard to provide excellent craftsmanship in all my work. If I don't like something, I won't build it. I feel it is important to put value and quality into products so they will last. That is why I use aluminum of the highest grade, solid stone that will withstand the elements. I appreciate each and everyone of you. If I can ever be of service, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
 
July 17-19th I will be in Edwards, CO, please come see us if you can. 
Also September 1, (Jill's birthday) I will have my first ad featuring "Iron Mustang" in Cowboys and Indians.  Very soon I will begin my second horse and these two horses will be in a spectacular setting, I promise you it will be breathtaking!

P.S. Don't forget the 2 free ottomans special through July.
