Thanks for Stopping by the Forge here at Four Kings Forge!
Welcome!
From my shop in Northern California, I combine wood and metal to make functional art that focuses on preserving the beauty of nature in the permanence of iron. I use traditional blacksmith techniques, as well as modern tools to make each piece unique and of the highest quality possible. There is a certain pride in craftsmanship that can only be achieved by forging each piece of iron separately and milling every piece of wood individually. Four Kings Forge is proud to be producing American made products for the whole world to enjoy.
Metal has been in my blood since an early age. I started learning how to work metal from my father on the family ranch as a young child and have continued to refine my skills over the years in both formal education and training. I enjoy any chance I get to work with other Smiths.
I try to "up-cycle" and use as much reclaimed material as possible, including metal I have salvaged from working ranches. Many of our products are made from re-purposed horseshoes and horseshoe rasps.
I have a passion for crafting with metal and am always open to new ideas and suggestions. If you have something you would like built, send us a message and we can see about working on a special order for you.
