Her gate has to let a horse & carriage thru, we left a 12' opening. Before choosing the new gate a new drive was in use and a new vista beheld. Unexpectedly, this gate became, almost, a front entry view. Deer are an issue plus I wanted a bit of mystery & enchantment.
Yesterday, above, her new gates.

I perused dozens of pictures, sent 3-4 to the owner, voila-poof, she chose my favorite gate, top pic.

Of course it came with no dimensions/details. Our carpenter, Magic Man, scaled it to the site. He used the curve a fly-fishing rod makes to judge the correctness of his top curves. He asked me a few questions about proportions.

You normally don't see unfinished pics here. But the work, above, of Masonry Man & Magic Man is enough to speak for itself.

More pics as this project continues.

Top pic found online, did not keep the origin. Had no idea I would be showing off with it. Love, love, love the pace of this project. Love more the team I'm working with.
He really is a magic man. I want to know what's behind that gate......k
