The clients desired a set of fireplace tools that mimics shapes in the stand of oaks outside their new home in Grafton, Wisconsin.With tools in the shape of branches, the set features oak leaves, acorns and a metal base in the shape of a slab of oak trunk.
The leaves are cut from flat sheet. Then the veins are chisled in. Next, the stem is rolled and the body is shaped while hot. Fortunately, there is an abundant supply of oak leaves in the woods near Island City Forge to use as models.
