Here are two fans I am working on.  I have not decided what to do with them yet, though I am happy with how they turned out.  The hammer marks add a wonderful texture. 

 

Damascus Knives

I love working with Iron, and forging these two knives was very enjoyable.  I made them as a single billet and forge welded them with a hammer and anvil.  They have Two Hundred Twenty-Four layers.

I made the Handles out of English walnut and silver with Ivory nut.  Here is a close up shot of the Damascus layers!  They are in the style of drop point skinners that any frontiersman might carry.

copper panel bar

•May 8, 2008 • 2 Comments

Here is my latest work! Its a custom copper panel for a bar, I had a great time doing this piece. I used different chemicals activated by heat for the patina. Here is a full shot of the kitchen that my piece went into, the kitchen is still not finished, notice the columns an each end, and the black trim. I did this with one of the best cabinet makers in our region! Here is a link to his site  www.customwoodworkbyjim.com
