Welcome to My Studio and Shop!

Hi!
I'm Billy Pace and I create, fabricate and design custom pieces in wood and/or metal for collectors, business owners, designers, corporations and mall displays.

What a great job! My studio and shop home base is in the Raleigh, NC area but my work has been installed in venues from California to Las Vegas to Bermuda to way down in Miami.

My pieces range from practical problem solving welding for small business owners to beautiful and creative, seasonal designs for malls. I've worked with numerous nationally known theatrical groups to design sets for their plays and dances.

Like I said, it's a great job!
Come along with me while I add to my photos and develop my gallery. You never know what I'll be creating next!

Creating Custom furniture designs in wood and iron

Another beautiful coffee table just left my Wake Forest, NC studio!
This is a 38" x 38" wide by 17" tall piece topped with a 3/8" tempered glass to really show off  (and protect) the natural shine and patina of the wood.
Created in Rustic/Modern Butcher Block style, this latest table features 4 Butcher Block sections
I only use wood from trees grown in the United States. 12 different woods were selected varying in color and wood grain. Naturally aged oak beams surround the blocks to give added contrast and strength. Natural imperfections such as knots were left in this piece to add character.
All the steel for the legs was hand bent,twisted and cold rolled. This makes them high profile, low impact and the smoothest legs in town! Something new that I'm doing is labeling all the wood used. So now you can enjoy this table visually and learn about the wood used to create it.
All work is Signed and Dated so that you know you are getting an authentic Wood Iron Studio custom piece!
