Mitchell works with wood and metal to create many types of furniture, fixtures and decor. He mills and kiln-dries locally harvested Colorado Dead Standing Timber and welds decorative steel hardware and brackets for fastening.

In the past Mitch has worked with city parks and rec to make park benches, picnic tables, and trail-head sign boards for local parks and open spaces. This welded steel signpost is the first, "all metal" project he has collaborated on with the city.

Once finished, this decorative steel signpost will be powder-coated black, featuring two bright orange Plexiglas panel inserted into opposing sides. 

Plexiglas for this project was purchased at  https://www.eplastics.com/plexiglass/acrylic-sheets/transparent-colors a complete provider of plastic material fabrication services proudly serving customers since 1914.
