After 15+ years of wax collection I’ve finally started making candles. They burn so beautifully! About an hour an inch, and no dripping. $16 / pair.
Candles Available
Bear Torcs & Bracelets
Bear torc necklaces & bracelets ready. Will post in Available page this weekend. $135 torc & $100 bracelet, plus shipping. The bear features in a cycle of Sigewif, and proud warriors wear their totem.
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.
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.
Bladesmithing Class

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!
Honey For Sale
I keep bees, and muse on them some; I will be making more bee jewelry, but I do have honey if you’re interested. $25 per pint for some of famed Vermont’s best honey, with a lovely citrus note. Shipping is $10 for the US. Go to the Purchase page and just put “Honey” in the Item Description. Feel free to ask any questions!
New Blade Available
New blade available. See my Available Now page for more pics & info.
Offering Classes
I will be offering classes from my studio as well as looking for opportunities to teach jewelry or bladesmithing. Great technique subjects would be lost wax / sand casting, pattern welding / damascus or bladesmithing. I have taught at Shelburne Craft School, Peter’s Valley Craft School, New England School of Metalwork, and U-32 High School art & jewelry. Check put the Classes section in the links, and feel free to inquire.
Spring Cleaning.
Cleaned up & organized the shop, for the benefit of mind, body and spirit. Putting a shop tour with photos up here on the website, and making a video for Patreon.
