Beautiful work. There is the concern about codes and for good reason. Codes don't come to be out of thin air. Accidents happen and codes follow to remedy them.

Most of the places I know won't allow a railing if there's more than four inches of space anywhere in the pattern. That's to protect small children from suffering a choking injury or fatality. It makes sense and it gives the artist-blacksmith-weldor a little more of challenge.

Your work is great and shows craftsmanship. I would recommend researching and incorporating the spirit of the codes even if they're not required though. I carry a two million dollar cumulative general liablity insurance. That wouldn't be a drop in the bucket dollarwise against a fatality. It would also break my heart.

They would be right at home in Spain. The wife and I visited Barcelona a few years ago and saw a building designed by Antonio Gaudi that had no straight lines on the facade and much of the interior. Here's a link:
