Round Head Carriage Bolts
This is the classic design most people think of when they hear “carriage bolt.” These bolts have a smooth, domed head and a square shoulder beneath the head that locks into the material and prevents spinning.
✔ Ideal for: timber framing, doors, and exposed joinery
✔ Available in: raw, black, sealed, or distressed finishes
✔ Pro tip: Use with a decorative washer for added visual impact
Flat Head Carriage Bolts
Our distressed flat head carriage bolts offer a more subtle, flush appearance—perfect for applications where a low profile is needed but you still want the aged character of forged iron.
✔ Ideal for: furniture, cabinetry, and places where the bolt head shouldn’t protrude
✔ Finish options: black powder coat, raw iron, antique patina
✔ Aesthetic: clean yet rustic
Decorative & Hammered Head Bolts
For projects where visual detail matters, choose a carriage bolt with a hammered or hand-textured head. These bring out the character in rough-sawn beams, rustic gates, or antique-style hardware layouts.
✔ Ideal for: restoration work, vintage builds, or projects with exposed hardware
✔ Each piece has unique texture from hand-forging
✔ Matches beautifully with our clavos and square nuts
Thread Options: Fully vs. Partially Threaded
At
-
Fully threaded bolts offer more flexibility and are ideal for thinner material or through-bolt applications.
-
Partially threaded bolts provide stronger shear strength, which makes them ideal for load-bearing joints in timber construction.
