The Wild Bison was created from a simple idea: things that have been overlooked, discarded, or forgotten can still have a purpose.

We turn fragments of metal and materials that might otherwise be thrown away into something new. Through creativity, craftsmanship, and a little imagination, what was once considered scrap becomes something worth keeping, displaying, and sharing.

The inspiration behind The Wild Bison comes from the story of the American bison. Once nearly gone from the landscape, the bison has returned to the wild and once again roams across the country.

We see a similar story in the materials we work with. Metal that has been cut, used, bent, worn, or discarded doesn't necessarily have to be the end of the story. It can become something completely different. A sculpture. A kit. A conversation piece. Something that carries a little bit of history with it.

The Wild Bison is about that transformation. We believe there is value in the overlooked and creativity in the unexpected. Our goal is to take ordinary pieces of metal and give them a new story, while encouraging people to build, create, and see possibilities in materials that others may have passed by.

The Wild Bison has returned. And now, we're bringing the fragments back to life.
