Spell Bowl

david — Mon, 23 May 2016 17:10:36 +0000

The bowl part is removable from the stand. Use for preparing various concoctions and mixtures for spell casting. The space below the bowl will allow for a tea light or other small heat source should you desire to do so. Beware though that metal will get hot and that this is not food grade treated. Price is $125.

Dia de los Muertos skull pendant

david — Mon, 23 May 2016 17:02:37 +0000

These come from rail road spike heads. Adding a few embellishments and they are a little different from their gringo cousins seen elsewhere on this page. These are $25 a piece.

Oil lamp

I have several of these available. The leaf can be brass brushed, as shown, or left plain. These are $40 each and come with glass vessel and wick material. The oil used is liquid paraffin and can be bought at home goods stores or on line.

Raven headed bottle opener

david — Sat, 26 Dec 2015 07:26:12 +0000

This was created for a friend. It has a few different ornamental features as you can see. There is the head itself as well as the flattened twisted part. A similar item will be $40.

Hammers, double spiral, axe

david — Sat, 26 Dec 2015 07:07:11 +0000

These are forged steel pieces. Various sizes and designs can be made with the Thor hammers and your choice of rune can be added at no extra cost. These are $25. The hammers depicted below are slightly larger and are $30 while the skulls are $25:

The double spiral is a traditional symbol for An Dagdha in Celtic tradition.

Axes are…well…axes. You chop things with them, whether it be wood or your enemies.

Bronze Thor’s hammer (Mjolnir)

david — Sat, 26 Dec 2015 06:45:40 +0000

The above image is of a bronze Thor hammer (Mjolnir). I try not to actually get out all the imperfections when I clean up after casting because I think it adds a unique character to the piece. The dark patina imparts an ancient look that I find appealing. The mix is 90% copper with 10% tin. This is a similar ratio to what was used in weapons of the time. These are $40.

Hanging incense burner

david — Sat, 24 Jan 2015 03:05:55 +0000

This is another variety of incense burner. One of my favorite things to make! I have these in stock and they are $55 each. I make stands to go with them for putting on a table top. I will get a pic as soon as I make another one.

Bronze axe

david — Fri, 23 Jan 2015 03:05:03 +0000

This is not a forged piece, but rather cast. I use a special clay to create the mold and pour the molten bronze into it. The bronze is a similar ratio of tin and copper to what ancient weapons were found to use. This is not from any industrial alloys that you see today. I measure each one out per pour. This is a typical result but there are some variations between individual axes, and that is what you want anyway! These are $25 a piece and come with a black leather cord.

Horned incense burner

david — Thu, 22 Jan 2015 04:05:39 +0000

This was another successful experiment and I plan on making more. It holds 3 sticks of incense. The one depicted is a typical example. Each one is slightly different though, so please be aware. Price is $45. Here is another one:

The one below is also in stock. Not as elaborate, but it is also only $25:

Spriral ear rings

david — Thu, 22 Jan 2015 04:00:19 +0000

Not sure what gauge these are exactly but this is what happens when you have a few cut offs laying about. The smaller items are actually a bit more difficult to make but it is a good exercise for me. These are available and are $25 for the pair.
