Designed and meticulously handcrafted by Christopher Thomson, a renowned blacksmith from New Mexico, in his studio located northeast of Santa Fe. Crafted for durability, this hand-forged iron fireplace tool set is built to withstand the test of time. Consisting of four essential fire tools – a poker, broom, shovel and tongs – it also features a sturdy forged iron tool stand. Available in Poquito size: Overall Height 30”; Tools: 26”
Base: 17” Width x 10”Diameter
This set is in the "Rust" finish, currently sold out at the Christopher Thomson website. Finish is achieved by a 2 month long process of repeated salt water treatments under the sun. After the desired rust finish has been obtained, the extra rust is scrubbed off and the process is completed by applying a non-toxic orange oil finish.
Set includes: poker + broom + shovel + tongs + stand (5 pieces, if you include the stand)
