The poker is made by first splitting the end of a bar to form the horns then folding it over, trapping the spine section and fusing all the parts together in the fire . Then the features are put in using hammer and chisels, refined and a spiralling twist is added to the shaft and the end forged to a point (other options are available). Finally I stamp each finished item with my makers mark.
Approximately 65 cm/26 inch long.
Each product is finished with a traditional mix of linseed oil and beeswax. Applied hot it burns on to the surface giving a slightly darker finish to the metal without obscuring any of the hammer marks like modern paints or finishes would.
Customization is available, including different ends ( Barb, toasting fork, shovel, brush and ash scraper), and other animal heads.
Because of the nature of my work and the materials used there will be slight variations between products as no two are ever completely the same.
The Items I sell are all forged to order, please contact me if you need one for a specific date and I can usually move things around to get it to you in time.
