The Emmanuel Branch Hook

Why Emmanuel?  Because this art piece brings ‘God with us’ beauty to the landscape…joining the divine presence of Tree, Bird and Flower.

It’s remarkable how much a single piece of high quality ironwork can affect an entire area.  This S Hook delivers a dependable hold for bird houses, feeders, chimes and wind spinners. Folks also use them for hanging flower pots and baskets as they are gentle on branch bark and easy to install, water, and relocate fully loaded.   Beautifully hand forged in 1/4″ round stock, a medium that requires an extra degree of care from the Blacksmith to avoid unnecessary hammer marks and distracting surface marring.  A snowflake, not a widget.

Each Emmanuel holds to the large ‘S ‘ shape and fine Penny End scroll work, embodying the classic Art form in design and blacksmithing.  Individual hooks are forged around 7″ wide. They can be manually widened if you choose, depending on the diameter of your tree branch and whether you are loading both scrolls.  These are weighty 8 ounce hooks capable of supporting up to a 20# load, securing your birds’ house or feeder on variety of growing branches.  The Emmanuel easily withstands the inclement weather and brisk winds that visit your yard and garden. No more gimpy green wire hangers dropping your prized birdhouse…scaring your bird friends away. You’ve seen the perfunctory attachments proliferate.  The Emmanuel is our response.

Naturally, birds respond to color. Our research shows they prefer classical art forms;)  Let us know your color preference, if you don’t see it in stock.
