Forged Objects Inspired by the Pacific Northwest

Hand-forged in Astoria, Oregon

After more than a decade as a full-time blacksmith, I relocated my workshop to Astoria Oregon in 2026.

Since arriving, I've spent a lot of time walking the waterfront with a camera, sketchbook, and a growing appreciation for the artifacts that survive both time and function.

Astoria Forge is an ongoing attempt to translate those observations into forged objects.
