This wrought iron fire poker is hand forged from 3/8" square orders steel bar. It features a beautiful reverse twist and an easy grip handle. The poker is very sturdy, measuring almost three feet in length, making it easy to tend your fire in the fire pit, bbq, or indoor fireplace.
The hook design is based on the blacksmith's coal rake, and easily moves wood and coals and can hook into larger logs. The "blacksmith's handle" design is comfortable and easy to work with.
This rustic, hand forged poker can be personalized with initials near the handle. Every time it's used for tending a fire there will be a reminder of it being a special gift.
Every item I make is hand forged and wholly unique. There will never be an exact duplicate made.
Dimensions:
32" long x 3" wide (poker's head)
Finish:
Wire polish brush and beeswax/linseed oil coating
Process:
I forge out the handle using the "blacksmith's handle" pattern, then flip it around to forge out the hook. The hook is designed to push and pull the wood and coals in a fire. Finally, I finish the piece with a reverse twist, which is accomplished by twisting the center in one direction, "freezing" a section of the steel, and then twisting it in the reverse direction. It creates a visually appealing twist in the bar. With the latent heat in the poker, I apply a liberal coating of beeswax and linseed oil to finish and protect the piece from rusting.
