The shop doesn't really allow great pictures to be taken of the pieces we craft here at Bear Iron Forge; however, with a bit of help from everyone's favorite frenemy, the AI, we can give the piece some life before it goes to its forever home.

They say some people have a green thumb... but around here, mine is permanently black (mostly from the coal and scale! 🔨🌑).
​Since I can’t seem to keep a real plant alive, I decided to "grow" something a little more permanent. I’ve been busy in the shop figuring out how to plant some seeds of joy and harvest a few smiles with my latest work.
​No watering required—just 2,000 degrees and a heavy hammer! 🔥🌱
​Swing by the Ashe County Farmers Market, the shop or check out our latest pieces in the The Squirrel & Nut to find something that’ll never wilt.

Community, Craft, and Character. 🔨✨

​Huge thanks to the team at Atlas Knife & Tool for hosting our mission on their site! Bear Iron Forge is more than just a shop; we are the lifeline in the stormy seas (a nod to my time in the Navy), focused on helping veterans and first responders find solace from the demons they face through the art of the hammer and anvil.

​Forging can be incredibly therapeutic for those dealing with PTSD or TBI, and this partnership helps us reach even more people in the community.
