hmm, the attachments didn't seem to work . . . Let me try again.

Hey Ted, Thanks for the welcome. I agree completely, putting wood and metal together really brings out the best in both materials. The wood warms the metal and makes it less intimidating and the metal grounds the wood - gives it a very finished feel. I've attached a pic of my specialty - hand hammered serving dishes with wood holder/stands (I didn't do the knives just the holder). I also do a lot of traditional stuff - coat racks, hall trees, quilt racks etc. I don't do large scale furniture anymore except for a select few clients. Take care!

Hey All, Just joined up - Nice site you have here! I've been a blacksmith and furniture maker for about 10 yrs - I've got a small shop where I combine iron and woodwork - great way to make a livin'! I also do bronze work in a friend of mine's sculpture studio. Nothing like pouring 300lbs of metal like a hot cup o' Joe! Look forward to getting to know you!
