Sometimes a repair to an old piece of
furniture or floor-
board requires the replacement of an
aged screw or nail.
New ones are out of character, old ones
that are either
straight enough, or strong enough to be
useable are
hard to find.
This is the logic behind the Old Head,
New
Shiny Shaft range.
All of the screw or nail heads are
individually rusted,
subtly bruised and aged to be full of
character, but the
shafts underneath are shiny, strong and
perfect. (just
like me in fact)

Nice idea, though if you leave them out in the weather for awhile, they will look old, but still work just fine. + |

"Restoration hardware" fasteners come in various finishes. If you need to match closely, you may need to work each bolt individually, after you've installed it. |
