Spring is Springing. Have six out of nine hives, which is enough to plan on honey production & easy expansion. I won’t have honey until July or August, so I think I’ll hold off on farmer’s markets so I can start next Spring with stores. But if you’re a fan,…

With wedding season coming, now is the time to get orders in for your hand forged damascus rings with silver, gold or fine stone settings. Feel free to contact with any questions. ❤️
I make some of the finest stainless steel damascus rings available, and I’m one of three or four international pioneers for high end damascus jewelry, going back nearly 25 years now.

Had a very fun student this week for my two day intensive lost wax / sandcasting / injection mold class. Day one is carving, spruing and investing, and while the investment cures, intro to sandcasting. I burn out flasks the next morning for casting, clean up, and wax injection molds. My student wanted to take one wax signet ring and walk it through all the potential options for reproduction. Quite a success!
I’ll be attending the Montpelier, Vermont Farmer’s Market with jewelry and hand forged kitchen knives, bi-weekly, Saturdays from Dec to April. The bees are tucked in for Winter, and I’m hoping for a much bigger bee-yard next year. X fingers.
I’m going to make some kitchen blades, hopefully for the local Winter farmer’s market, but they’ll be for sale here too. Will post finished pieces.
Working up some walking / shepherd’s axes with footspikes for your country gentleman needs.
New line of interlace rings inspired by Nouveau artists like Archibald Knox. Can do in silver or gold, with or without stones, which can go from 4-7mm. This is a lovely opal, size 7.25. Sizes start at 6. Inquire!
Shipping out some damascus rings. New stainless steel supplier worked out perfectly. Two lined in Sterling with rails and an inlay in 14K yellow, and one in 14k red. Guaranteed for a lifetime, resizable, and made 100% by hand from start to finish. The finest available.
