At ProHands Handyman, we take pride in creating high-quality custom gates that add both elegance and security to any property. In a recent project, we crafted three stunning gates using a very expensive and soft wood, showcasing our expertise in working with delicate materials. Here’s a closer look at how we completed this project step-by-step, finishing it with a beautiful oil finish to enhance the wood's natural beauty.

Step 1: Selecting the Perfect Wood

The choice of wood is crucial for creating a gate that is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. For this project, we used a high-end, soft wood known for its luxurious appearance and rich texture. Despite its delicate nature, this wood provides a stunning finish when handled with care. Our team took great measures to ensure that every cut and assembly was performed meticulously to maintain the integrity of the material.

Step 2: Crafting the Gates

Each gate was custom-built with precision. We measured and cut the wood to create a sleek, modern design with clean vertical lines. As shown in the images, the craftsmanship focused on aligning the slats perfectly to achieve a smooth and sophisticated look. Working with soft wood requires a careful touch, and our team ensured that every element was assembled without causing dents or marks on the surface.

Step 3: Sanding for a Smooth Finish

Before applying the final protective layer, the gates underwent a thorough sanding process. This step is crucial when working with soft wood, as it smooths out any roughness and prepares the surface for finishing. In one of the photos, you can see our team meticulously sanding the wood, bringing out its natural grain and texture. This attention to detail is what makes our custom gates stand out.

Step 4: Installation

Once the gates were crafted and sanded, we proceeded with the installation. Each gate was mounted securely, ensuring smooth operation and a perfect fit within the space. The modern, sleek design of the gates enhanced the overall aesthetic of the property, adding a touch of elegance to the surroundings.

Step 5: Finishing with Oil

The final step in this project was to coat the gates with a high-quality oil finish. This process not only protects the wood from moisture and environmental factors but also enriches its natural color and texture. The oil finish gave the wood a warm, rich tone, highlighting its luxurious grain and creating a striking contrast against the property’s walls. As seen in the images, the gates now have a beautiful, natural luster that will keep them looking stunning for years to come.
