Rugged, Real, and Built to Hold: Discover Hand-Forged Builder Supplies for Structural and Decorative Projects

Whether you’re working on your dream timber frame home, designing a statement entryway, or just looking for the strongest brackets on the market, Old West Iron has you covered.

In the world of construction, it’s easy to overlook the small components that make a structure strong — the brackets, braces, straps, and bolts that hold it all together. At Old West Iron, we don’t just make those components functional — we make them beautiful, durable, and forged to last a lifetime.

Our collection of hand forged builder supplies is designed for professionals and craftsmen who know that true quality comes down to the details. Whether you’re framing timber, finishing a beam connection, or building a one-of-a-kind post and beam project, our American-made iron hardware brings strength and style to every jobsite.

Built for Timber, Designed to Show

Modern builders, timber framers, and architects are turning back to exposed structures — and for good reason. There’s nothing quite like the look of wood paired with iron: bold, grounded, and architectural. But standard hardware doesn’t cut it for these projects. That’s where our heavy-duty timber brackets come in.

Our bracket selection includes:

  • T-plates, L-brackets, and strap connections for post-to-beam joints

  • Gusset plates and heavy-duty angle brackets for load-bearing points

  • Decorative cover plates to hide bolts and fasteners while adding rustic flair

  • Powder-coated and raw finish options to suit interior or exterior use

Every piece is forged by hand or machined in our Idaho facility, with options for custom sizing, hole patterns, and finishes to match the exact needs of your build.

Wood Connectors That Add Real Holding Power

When you're working with timber or reclaimed wood, the last thing you want is cheap hardware that twists or rusts. Our wood connectors are forged with solid steel, designed to handle heavy loads, and built to look just as strong as they perform.

We offer:

  • Through-bolt and lag bolt hardware for structural strength

  • Decorative bolt covers and clavos for a finished, old-world look

  • Beam straps and saddle brackets to bring architectural cohesion to exposed framing

  • Connector kits that take the guesswork out of heavy-duty timber joining

From ranch homes to mountain lodges and modern barn builds, these pieces are used across the country by builders who understand that form and function don’t have to be separate.
