Shown here is a hand-forged safety dagger pendant with locally salvaged steel and harvested cedar sheath made by @q.aboudara with @beaverbrotherstrading . @marina_alaska at @ak.rooted made the woven cedar clutch with locally harvested cedar bark dyed in blueberries and devils club kombucha. . Here is one opportunity that the @ak.artisannetwork brought many artists in Alaska this summer: to have functional pieces of art showcased in a fashion show sponsored by The Alaska Conservation Foundation and auctioned off! #network #create #collaborate #handforged #functionalart #fashionshow #conservatoryofflowers

We will have a table open at the vendors market at the Klawock school gym from 10:00am till 3:30pm Friday and Saturday. So stop by and see what we have! We will be right next to @ak.rooted

Had a busy weekend at the smithy getting blades ready for handles! #alwaysonthegrind #nosetothegrindstone #blacksmithing #knivesofinstagram #sleepwhenidie #beaverbrotherstradingcompany #alaskanartistnetwork #newitems #newpendant

As a blacksmith there have been many knives that I’ve forged with hammer, anvil, and the sweat on my brow. Many go on display and eventually are bought and pass on to their new owners. Some (thankfully not many any more) fail and are scrapped. But this one, it spoke to me directly, and so I claimed it as my personal belt knife. The knife is hand forged from salvaged high carbon steel with a Sitka black tail deer antler handle. The sheath is made from spalted alder, sealed with beeswax. The knife frog is made from our naturally tanned leather with Sitka black tail deer antler toggles. . . . #knivesofinstagram #beaverbrotherstradingcompany #theblacksmithsknife #salvagedmaterials

We haven’t posted much lately as the harvest season is upon us. Today we had a great day on the water and we’re grateful for the fish that will nourish us through the winter. We were pleased to share this with friends,family, and community members. #boatsfullbellysfull #thisisourwayoflife #aklife #traditionalsubsistencelife

We finish this week off with a last few photos courtesy of @bethanysgoodrich showcasing some of the hand forged and handcrafted items created by @q.aboudara and @ewmccarthyiv with @beaverbrotherstrading . . . They hope that what they do inspires others to aspire to be their best selves. . . . We ask that you continue to support local sustainable businesses. Even a post share, or a thumbs up/like helps so share and like to your hearts content in support! . . . @beaverbrotherstrading would like to thank the amazing people that have helped their dreams become realities. So... Thank you Jake and Joron @bifrost_blacksmithing for all your patience and training, @beaverbrotherstrading hopes to continue doing great things with you in the future.
