How It Works - Custom Orders

1) Things to Consider

Island Metal Arts - Imagine - Create - Customize

You don't need to be an Artist to share your idea with us. Most times a simple discussion will be enough for us to envision your idea and bring the elements you would like together.


  •  A smaller sized item doesn't necessarily mean it will cost less, smaller pieces generally take more time to make into a cuttable design.
  • Do you have a budget for your piece? If you wish to let us know your budget, it can help us determine what we can do for you.
  • Do you have a deadline? More lead time is always better, We will do our best to accommodate rush orders.

Island Metal Arts - Images, Sketches, and Silhouettes

Can you provide us with some artwork?

We can work from a variety of formats...


  • Your idea/vision (no artwork)
  • Photographs/Images
  • Simple or detailed sketches
  • Silhouettes or Clipart from the internet
  • Graphics from your print goods (Business Cards, Stationary, Etc...)


We will work with you to come up with the design plan for your piece including size, finish and how it will be hung or mounted.


If you don't have artwork and would like to see a preliminary drawing before acceptance of our quote, we can do that, but we do charge for this as a design service.

Island Metal Arts - Custom cut designs

Time to  breathe the life into your custom piece. 

Your design has now been made into an digital  format which allows us to cut the design on our "state of the art"  CNC Plasma Table.

After cutting,  your custom  piece  will go through a series of metal finishing processes to de-burr, smooth, or ad a grained texture to the surface prepararing the piece for Powder Coating or Painting.

Pieces which are to remain as Bare Metal also go through the exact same process.


  • Bare Metal pieces must be treated with oil or receive a finish in order to protect from rusting.


  • You can also let your Bare Metal piece rust for the "patina" or "aged" look
