    Freshly forged.
    The red color is normal oxidation that occurs as the steel cools.
    It all gets buffed and polished out before the beeswax is applied.

    About

    • Hand-forged hooks. I shape each one traditionally with heat, hammer, anvil, and tongs.
    • Back in 2012, I got a few commissions to outfit mountain cabins. These are 12 brackets I forged for a woman in the SE.
    • Handy drawer/door pulls.
    • Scrollwork.
    • Metal refinishing.

    Keeping the blacksmithing tradition alive.

    I went down to the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina on a whim back in 2011 to do a work/study at the John C. Campbell Folk School. I came out of that wonderful experience nine weeks later with a set of basic blacksmithing skills and a fire to pursue it as a craft.

    I bought a small propane forge and a piece of railroad track for an anvil and started creating. Brown County Forge here on Etsy is a showcase of the things I've done and what I create as I move forward.

    If you'd like to read more about the process of setting up a blacksmith shop, I laid out the journey at http://diyblacksmith.blogspot.com.

    I hope you enjoy the shop. Please send me a message any time.

    • Terran

      Owner

      Hi there! My name's Terran and I'm the blacksmith at Brown County Forge. In addition to forging rustic goods for the home, I teach blacksmithing classes and provide resources for blacksmithing DIYers. Thanks for having a look around.

    Production partners

    • Metal Fabricator/Plasma Cutting

      Avon, MN

      I use a metal fabricator with heavy-duty metal cutting abilities to cut the initial shape of some pieces. I then add forged elements, textures, and finishes.

    • Plasmacutting Shop

      Indianapolis, IN

      A locally owned and operated shop that provides metal cutting services.

    Welcome to Brown County Forge on Etsy. I focus primarily on decorative and functional hardware for the home. Everything is hand-forged with hammer and anvil.

    Each item, whether it's part of a set or its own piece, has its own individual character. That character is a result of each hammer blow, twist, and curl I make.

    If you get inspired and don't see something you'd like, send me a message. I'd be happy to create something custom with you.
