FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

 firegear, LLC introduces the Ironwood Sculpture for Fire™

Textured Steel and Spiraled Details Create a Unique Fire with the firegear, LLC Designer Series Ironwood Sculpture for Fire™

February 10, 2010 (Canton, MI)

firegear, LLC presents its exclusive fire log design – Ironwood Sculpture for Fire ™ - a handcrafted work of art by firegear designer Jarrett Bertoncin, a master of fine fire sculpture design.

 “We are very excited to showcase this new design by Jarrett Bertoncin,” said Dennis G. Smith, president, firegear, LLC.  “He very artistically combined the feel of burning logs with the distinctive look of steel to create the Ironwood Sculpture for Fire ™.”

 Each sculpture is skillfully cut and created using torches and welding equipment.  It is then fabricated from raw steel, one piece at a time, allowing for individual embellishments and  ensuring no two sets are alike.  Details such as peeling bark, exposed heartwood, pinecones, leaves and small twigs bring every log set to life.  A final coating in a natural patina that is built up during the construction process causes each set to slowly rust as it ages. And, finally, each Ironwood Sculpture features the firegear firestar™ to create the finished look.  When used outdoors, this pairing adds even more realism.  Over time, built up rainwater in the logs turns to steam and hisses as the sculpture heats up.

Ironwood Sculpture for Fire™ is the perfect addition to any indoor or outdoor environment bringing the charm and warmth of a wood fire with the ease and safety of gas.

 firegear, LLC is an innovative manufacturer of gas logs, designer hearth systems, outdoor firepits, outdoor fireplaces and firepit and fireplace accessories.  Visit www.firegearusa.com for more information.
