STEPS IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
February 28th, 2021
Sent off to it's new home, another custom is in the books.
With new patrons, come new possibilities. The custom works I get the privilege to work on are coming out hot! Each is more radical than the last. My skill set and tools continue to expand. So if there has been a sword, knife, weapon, or artwork that you've been dying to see, make sure to shoot me an email. we can get started right away.
Coming soon will be a tournament federschwert and Scottish broadsword, so stay tuned for more!
Thanks again,

You, my patrons, help guide these projects with your own ideas as well.
Tools, implements, and everyday items are also welcome!
Just ask.
THE ART BEHIND THE FORGE
I am an Artist at heart, and that same passion runs to the core of every project I create.
Not only do I create tools but Traditional Media as well. I take on commissions and will regularly have pieces available throughout the seasons.
MY STORY
Mark Howland, Jack of All Trades
I am an Artist and Smith, born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. I have a strong pull towards history, and cultures that filled it. I have been involved in local re-enactment groups and also followed my own studies. I have been mentored by professional Artists and Craftsman, and keep a strong network of these individuals.
Community is incredibly important to me. That's why every experience with my Patrons, I strive to make as pleasant and personable as possible.
