Pinewood Keeper Winter Spirit Face Metal Garden & Porch Art
Couldn't load pickup availability
A handful of pinecones gathered along the path, evergreen boughs tucked around the door, and a porch that welcomes you home before you ever step inside. This winter keeper carries a little of that simple woodland warmth.
Meet Pinewood Keeper, an oversized winter spirit face with a pinecone at his crown and another woven into his long beard. Evergreen sprigs and berry cutouts frame his thoughtful eyes, while a broad curling mustache gives him the kindly character of an old forest storyteller.
Part of The Dirt Road Gardener's Winter Spirit Faces, this plasma-cut metal garden and porch art is made from 14-gauge steel. Genuine open cutouts let the wall, wood grain, or foliage behind him become part of the design. Display him on a porch wall, garden fence, or cabin wall among winter greens. His pinecone and evergreen details make a natural companion for woodland Christmas decorating and a welcoming focal point throughout winter.

Finish Options
Raw Steel
Raw means exactly that—unfinished steel as it comes from the mill. It is not sealed and will naturally age, darken, oxidize, and develop its own patina over time. Variations in mill scale, grain, tone, and surface markings are normal and part of the character of raw steel.
Signature Rusted Finish
Our signature rusted finish is real rust—not paint, powder coating, faux rust, or a printed finish. We begin the natural rusting process by hand using a mixture of vinegar, peroxide, and salt.
Because the steel arrives from the mill with its own unique grain, scale, and surface characteristics, no two pieces will ever rust exactly the same. Variations in color, pattern, depth, and texture are expected and make every piece one of a kind.
The rusted finish is left unsealed and will continue to weather and develop naturally over time. Because it is real, unsealed rust, some color or residue may transfer to hands, clothing, walls, siding, or other surfaces, especially when new or exposed to moisture.
Flat Black
Our Flat Black finish is coated with Rust-Oleum flat black paint for a clean, classic look and added surface protection.

Every piece is made to order based on the size and finish selected by the customer. Because we begin production specifically for your order, we do not accept returns or offer refunds for made-to-order items.
