These grab rails were designed to offer support while navigating the client’s patio without looking like traditional railings. The design references floral forms to fit within the landscape architecture. Forged Steel

This contemporary forged stair railing has a forged copper cap rail and steel base. The contrast between the metals is beautiful. This railing posed some interesting design challenges to meet code and maintain the elegant look that we desired because of the existing staircase design.

This custom stair rail for a home in Bow, WA is made of forged steel. The balustrade design references waves and movement in the ocean. The grab rail portion was created to meet code and provides continuous support down a fairly complicated winding stair. The stair risers are also made of steel to tie in with the railing.

Forged from silicon bronze with a rich brown patina, this gingko tree adorns a beautiful oak entry door. The door handle and related hardware were forged and machined from silicon bronze to match.

This Baptismal Font was commissioned by St. Clement Episcopal Church in Seattle. The bowl was hammered out of 10g copper and the stand is forged steel. As with all commission work, the design reflects my contemporary aesthetic while responding to design cues present in its home.

A Forged Iron Railing I made for a client in the Ravenna neighborhood of Seattle. This railing cantilevers out of a large granite rock and goes up a curved staircase. The galvanized and painted finish complements the beautiful garden and landscape architecture well.

The design of these forged stair rails reflects the pattern of the granite patio stone. These rails employ heavy forging and texture and traditional mortise and tenon joinery.

This Seattle gate is forged and all structural joints are traditional mortise and tenon. The forged bamboo is matches the theme and an existing bamboo fence.

These Ginkgo Hinges were hand forged for a client who wanted natural forms to accent the wood mantle work but also play well with the fireplace.

I have done a fair bit of work for Lake Union Park in Seattle, WA facilitated by the Center for Wooden Boats. The first job was building this information cart for the park's Ambassador Program. The second job was facilitating a bunch of A Frame Signs that are distributed around the park. The final phase were some more substantial signs for the park and a series of signs for the Historic Ships Warf.

The avalanche lilies were made for the Artist, Jim Pridgeon, by my shop mates Steve Hirt, Bart Turner and myself. They are at a middle school in Puyallup.

11 Light Pods were built for the Artist, Susan Zocalla, by Bart Turner and myself. These are installed in downtown Everett, WA.

Forged Ironwork goes beautifully with wood slabs. I do a lot of work for other furniture makers and create my own furniture line.

This is some other random stuff that I've made over the years. Including a cremation urn, a baby gate, candle holders, coat racks, air plant holders and other art.

A key part of learning the Blacksmith's Craft is working as a journeyman. Traditionally this means travelling the country working for a series of master smiths for short periods learning from each along the way. I was very lucky to work with some incredibly talented Blacksmiths all over the United States. These are photos of three projects that I participated in. The first two are for David Tuthill of Seattle, WA and the third was for Zach Noble of Asheville, NC.

Kurly has so far commissioned two Food Carts. The first had one deep fryer and the second had two. A super efficient street food machine, these carts have hot and cold running water, propane deep fryers and a bumpin sound system. A great alternative to a food truck that allows the operator to directly engage with the public. Kurly serves Kurly fries, tempura, donuts and a variety of other delicacies.
