Hand-Forged Wrought-Iron Square-Head Nail

Decorative forged nail with tapered shank for rustic woodwork

Add authentic, hand-made character to timber projects with this forged-iron cover nail featuring a square, four-sided head. Each piece is hand forged, so subtle variations give furniture, doors and wall cladding a genuinely crafted look.

The tapered shank bites securely into wood while the 8 × 8 mm head provides a compact, graphic accent. Supplied in four lengths, it’s ideal for restoration, period details or new builds that want a calm, rustic tone without fuss.

For a long-lasting finish, the untreated forged iron can be waxed with beeswax or Zebraline—keeping the look natural while helping resist surface rust.
