The Wendell August Forge Process

• Artists: Original artwork establishes the design for every piece.
• Die engravers: The design is transferred into a steel die; hand-engraved pieces may carry the engraver’s hidden signature.
• Craftspeople: Recyclable aluminum and specialty metals are hammered, formed, and carefully finished using the repoussé process.

Wendell August Forge is the oldest and most celebrated forge in America. Special moments deserve to be remembered.
