Hey ya'll, I know I've not been showing much work recently, haven't been getting a lot done in the shop unfortunately, but I did yesterday finish up this ladle.

 

 

Same specs as the last one a year or so ago, handforged steel, hot oiled finish, and a curly maple handle.

 

All we need now is a big ole pot of chili.  :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Greetings Anvil,

 

Sweet...   Did you forge weld the dish to the handle ??    I'll bring the rollaids...

 

Forge on and make beautiful things.

 

Jim

that is very nice !!  

i like that a lot

Thanks ya'll, really glad you like it.

Jim, I made the handle and bowl out of the same piece of steel.  Although the next one I make I plan on trying to either rivet or weld on a different handle.

was it sheet that you cut out?

Yeah, I cheat   :D
I cut the blank out of a piece of sheet, then forge it into the ladle.

Nice ladle, Jim brings the Rolaids I'll bring corn bread. Cutting the blank out of sheet isn't cheating, you don't really think a "traditional" blacksmith would forge the sheet out of bar stock if s/he didn't HAVE to do you?

 

Well done Stephan.

 

Frosty The Lucky.
