By Leave a Comment

I’m forging a number of leaves to go on an exterior build for author Christopher Golden in Massachusetts. I’m particularly happy with this one.

To see how I’m forging these leaves, go to this page.

A gallery of hand-forged chopsticks by artist blacksmith John D. Harvey

Finished these hand-forged chopsticks last night from 304 stainless steel. They’ll go to Heidi Jacobs of Whitehall Pottery in Pittsburgh, PA.

On December 19, 2020, I was a vendor/exhibitor at The Steel Yard’s “Holiday Art Market”, and it was really a great event held in very challenging times. All the pandemic precautions were in place: social distancing, mask wearing, hand sanitizer, and staggered entry of patrons to prevent crowding.
