Johnny Beard Patriot Oak Bellows

This product was built by one of the most creative men in the fireplace business, Johnny Beard. Creating new ideas for the last 35 years, he is a skilled woodworker and metallic designer. These are America's finest bellows and are built to last. The beautiful artistic handcrafted design by Johnny Beard is a hand made, one of a kind bellows. Carved out of natural oak wood with a light oak stain, real cowhide leather, and for that little extra touch there is a unique design on the nozzle. Measures 21" Long x 7" Wide x 2" Deep. Hand made in the U.S.A. Established in 1975 by Johnny and Rosemary Beard, Johnny Beard Company has proven itself to be America's leading manufacturer of fireplace and wood stove bellows. Johnny's expertise in woodworking, leather working and metalworking were all utilized to create bellows that are beautiful as well as functional. They relocated to Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1979 and set up their bellows factory. A tag on each Johnny Beard bellows has an ink drawing depicting this first workshop. After several expansions and many years later, Johnny Beard Company still operates out of this same workshop in Tulsa. Johnny Beard bellows have come to be recognized as superior quality products and Johnny Beard himself is regarded as one of the ''most creative men in the fireplace industry''. All Johnny Beard products are handcrafted with the utmost of care, and Johnny still hand signs each and every product, which serves as a mark of excellence.
