Welcome to my on-line shop!
**I’m currently only taking orders from those that are supporting me via Patreon. I needed to reduce demand (there is only one of me here making things!), the usual business practice would be to raise prices until demand drops but I want to keep things affordable for those that really want one of my products**

For international addresses, please email me before placing an order and I’ll work out a postage cost for you. As a rough guide, it tends to be an extra £10-£15 to Europe, an extra £20 to USA and everywhere else.
Orders are usually sent by Royal Mail, second class signed for service. Overseas orders are sent Royal Mail international tracked and signed service.
Care of your Ironthumper original artwork
All the metal objects are coated with at least two coats of liquid beeswax. I find beeswax works very nicely as it protects the work and leaves a nice sheen without being too shiny. It will blacken over time and particularly on well handled objects like the pokers, the high spots will shine and the low spots darken giving a lovely depth and texture to the piece.
This coating should last a long time without much attention, in fact, my kitchen tools are washed up just like everything else, I do make an effort to dry them straight after washing, but no other special treatment. Any trace of rust that appears can be wiped away with a little cooking oil.
The wooden items are finished with raw linseed oil. I use this as it’s both food grade, won’t go rancid and is deep penetrating. The spoons I also wash up as usual with everything else. If it ever looks dry I rub a little cooking oil onto it and it’s good as new again.
