At Woodland Direct, we seek to find inner beauty in what might otherwise be considered discarded materials. Recycled Elevator cable is simple, elegant, and lends itself well to a variety of applications. Some products make use of the cable in strands, creating a dramatic effect, while others leave the cable whole for rigidity and strength. Each of these pieces are hand made, meaning that no two will be identical. You can be satisfyed in knowing that your purchase is truly one of a kind.

Firebowls and fireplace screens made from elevator cable offer incredible tensile stability. The cable will naturally weather to a pleasing patina, or can be easily cleaned with a wire brush to achieve a more burnished steel look.

Additionally, recycled elevator cable has been impregnated with years of grease and oil. The firebowl's initial burn-off, or “virgin burn” will create a dramatic amount of smoke and flames as a result. This is a completely normal and necessary procedure. Some users even choose to turn the initial burn into an event, kicking off a lifetime of nights by the fire! After this process, the cable will then begin to oxidize to a desirable finish.
