Reclaimed Portland

Out of quarantine boredom I decided to challenge myself with a blacksmithing project for the first time and of course I added in a touch of custom carpentry. I designed a Norwegian hunting knife with some classic American style to it in my sketchbook. The handle was carved from a super unique chunk of spalted maple with a rift saw cut. The blade is a solid piece of white steel from knife blade to handle with hand punched triangles. What are you doing to entertain yourself during this weird time? Hope you’re all staying safe, healthy, and sane.

Our house is definitely taking a *bit* longer than we’d hope to finish, but holy 🐄 are we excited to show it to you all when it’s ready. This little guy is excited to be allowed back into his living room, too.
