What exactly is steel tube or tube steel art?
Steel tube art, also called tube steel art is the process of forging, bending, or hammering steel tubing into abstract pieces of art. You can oxidize to get that effect or even pickle steel tubing to make a smoother surface that enables you to paint for a different type of effect. There are a number of ways and materials you can use to get the exact look you are going for. Because of the steel alloy, your pieces of steel art can even be treated to last outdoors!
