Handcrafted Just for You
At Oxcart Dreams, we create custom copper and steel pieces that are more than just art-they are stories forged in metal. Whether you envision a timeless sculpture, functional home decor, or a custom garden accent, we work closely with you to craft something truly one-of-a-kind.
How It Works
Commissioning a custom metal piece is a collaborative experience. We take the time to understand your vision, offer expert design insights, and craft a piece that reflects your style and purpose. Here’s how the process works:
-
Tell us what you’re looking for, including materials, dimensions, and inspiration.
-
We refine your idea, provide sketches, and confirm details before we begin.
-
We bring your vision to life using time-honored blacksmithing and coppersmithing techniques.
-
Once your piece is complete, we’ll share final photos to ensure it meets your expectations before shipping. After your approval, we carefully finish, pack, and deliver your custom piece with the utmost care.

What is your return or cancellation policy for custom orders?
