More honey! I harvested more late Summer and some dark Fall honey. This harvest is less malty and more citrussy than the Mid-Summer, and the specifically chosen Fall honey (darker in the picture,) is AMAZING… goldenrod, knotweed & asters. A local neighbor won an international honey competition with this Fall honey last year. It’s that good. $20 / pint / 1.1 lb for Summer, $30 for Fall. (Worth it!) Shipping usually $10 USPS. Inquire!
New Venues
I’ve done re-enactment of various sorts since I was a teenager, but mostly enjoyed the armored combat. I’ve decided to start merchanting at events; selling honey, jewelry & blades. Will still gladly make damascus rings, but the wedding industry has really slowed down since covid as far as regular business goes, so here’s to a few fun new avenues.
Bear Torcs & Bracelets
Bear torc necklaces & bracelets ready. Will post in Available page this weekend. $135 torc & $100 bracelet, plus shipping.
Bracelets Now Available
Bracelets in Bronze Now Available for $100 plus $10 for USPS Priority Shipping.
Bracelets Incoming
Bracelets up on the website tomorrow, raven, boar, and Urnes beast. Bear next. $100 in bronze.
Bronze Raven Drinking Horn
Bronze fittings, lined in beeswax from my own bees. Holds just under a full pint, so a normal US beer bottle fits just right. Has nine dags with triskele design and raven, so very Odhinnic numerology. $235, see Available page for more pics.
Honey Available
I have honey available for sale! A neighboring beekeeper was recently named a finalist in this N.American Dark category for 2023. It has a lovely citrus note, and I have both clear & creamed ready to go.
New Blade Available
New blade available. See my Available Now page for more pics & info.
Bladesmithing Class
Photo by Albo Greene
Had a great bladesmithing student this weekend. We forge welded a high carbon edge on a wrought iron core and got a demo blade and a student blade completed. Next class will be grinding & heat treating. A full day is $200, plus materials. Please inquire for scheduling. I also teach jewelry, including casting & fabricating. One on one, or two good friends in my current space, with weekend accommodation available locally, or Summer camping here at the shop. Located near Central Vermont’s famed brewpubs!
New Blade Coming
Musing out this nice blade. 9″ blade, roughly 15″ with handle. Six bar construction, 5 for spine with center core and one homogeneous laminate for the edge. 1075/15N20. Could go bog oak, but tempted to go steller sea cow bone, both c. 3000 BC. Sheath colors would match. Silver with bog oak, bronze with sea cow. Theme possible for decorations. PM if interested.
