My Work
Rococo Pipe Tomahawk
Pipe tomahawk with light engraving and pewter accents.
Oak Leaf Fireplace Doors
Copper and steel fireplace doors, to match and complete a 1920s marble fireplace. Some very simple repousse, modern and traditional forms.
Lacey Cross Monument
A large, contemporary Celtic Cross for a family memorial.
Bowie Knife
An even bigger knife – 15” overall. Differentially-quenched 5160 blade, hafted with antler, nickel-silver and maple then elaborately file-worked. Balance is exceptional.
Fire-tool Stand – Detail
Detail of a stand for fireplace tools, showing complexity of finials.
Colonial Fire Tongs
From a set of 18th c fireplace tools. Wrought with precision.
Hammer-Poll Patriot Tomahawk
A hammer poll version of a famous movie tomahawk. Client request. Steel.

Birch-leaf Fireplace Doors
Hand-forged in their entirety, from leaves to rivets.
Surt’s Horn
An elaborate drinking horn, leaning toward Jelling motifs.
Small Knives
Three small hunting knives, all 5160. From top, hafts are antler/cedar burl, Koa/Maple/Brass and Walnut with copper pins.
Katana
Entirely hand-forged and polished – an exercise in patience. 11,000 layers of 1090/1040 steel kobuse-welded around a soft-iron core. Dimensions taken from a Kamakura-period Bizen. Fitted with a quilted-maple saya to reflect my western sensibilites.
