Black Bear Forge
Location
Black Bear Forge, a small part time blacksmith shop located near Pueblo, Colorado. We produce custom forged iron work, standard ironware objects, and accoutrements for period reenactment. The items shown on our website are merely a tiny sample of what can be formed between the hammer and anvil. After all, the blacksmith is often considered to be "the original inventor".
Favoring traditional blacksmithing techniques, we work primarily by hand with modern mild steel. This type of work is commonly referred to as wrought iron; however, wrought iron more correctly describes a softer type of iron used over a hundred years ago. Real wrought iron however is no longer manufactured in any quantity. In most cases the use of mild steel results in a higher-quality, longer-lasting product.
