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.
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.

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!
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. See my Available Now page for more pics & info.
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.
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.
Had to take a bit of a social media break. Many bureaucratic fiascoes, Winter doldrums, website woes and not the least, quite an argument with my propane company, which ended with the state attorney general sending the local office a very satisfying nasty-gram on my behalf. Hark! For tomorrow I should finally be getting a new propane tank and a new supplier. In the meantime I now have gold, silver and steel on hand. The forge shall arise again.
Getting ready to rivet up this lovely drinking horn in silver & opals… it gets a walnut stand and a few more silver bits, but we’re honing in.
