Boone's Hooks Blog

Busy Season

I am pleased to announce that Boone's Hooks shop is very busy these days and that is the reason for my lack of new articles on this blog.
I am participating in local art shows, filling orders from the internet, getting prepared for the local holiday art show and fulfilling a major order for the Gaiam/Real Goods catalog.
Business is great, thank you for your support and please do not hesitate to order your own fine hand-forged ironwork. We still have a couple of weeks to safely ship in time for the holidays!

I look forward to hearing from you. Happy Holidays.

I will be adding new articles regarding blacksmithing, design, art etc.. as soon as I am able.

Cheers,
Smyth Boone

Profile Information

Location:: Paonia, Colorado

About Me:: Hello, I am an 18th generation Master blacksmith and a direct descendant of the famous pioneer, Daniel Boone.

I have been designing and building large-scale architectural forgings for over 17 years. I have taught the skills of blacksmithing internationally and my projects have been published in numerous books and magazines. Many of my articles on design have been published.

I have displayed my unique forgings in many invitational gallery exhibits focusing on contemporary design in art and in the field of blacksmithing.

My current focus is my product line called Boone's Hooks Hand-forged Home Accessories which is featured in the fall 2008 Gaiam/Real Goods Holiday catalog.

I hope you enjoy my work.

Cheers,
Smyth Boone

The resulting effect expresses harmony of design and function with regard to the integrity of the medium."

All you have to do is click here, sign up/in and click the "add +" below my picture and you're done. I've made it all on one page, so it takes about 43 seconds.

That's really all there is to it, but if you want more details visit slim slow slider.

On a grander note, I really believe you could benefit from the site.

Cheers.
