Rick Bulan – Artisan Furniture

Rick Bulan learned about the removal of the original Golden Gate Bridge pedestrian handrails from a local TV news story in 1994.  As a San Francisco native, he thought it would be great to have a headboard made from the historic steel.  After acquiring a piece of the handrail, he spent over a month learning how to cut and grind down the material to create his headboard, and the Golden Gate Furniture Co. was born.  For additional information about the artist and his company, please visit www.goldengatefurniture.com.

Christy Gregory – Photography
