As passionate gardeners, one look is all it took to decide to include these beautiful heirloom-quality tools on our website. Each tool is a one-of-a-kind piece of art built to last a lifetime.
This square hoe from Iron & Wood Garden Tools is hand-forged by Montana blacksmith Tuli Fisher. The curved shape and carefully balanced weight of this useful tool assists with the general hoeing motion and provides great momentum for really getting into the swing of things. Approximate dimensions: 12" x 4" x 6"
As each piece is individually hand-forged by the blacksmith, the steel and hickory will have variations in appearance and unique characteristics that make it one-of-a-kind.
Each tool is built using traditional blacksmithing techniques. Steel is heated to a red glow in the forge and then shaped over the anvil with a hammer. All joinery is done using solid steel rivets. And, while each tool is hot, it is burned into the handle creating a long-lasting garden tool with no welds. Select black walnut is used for the handles. The tight grain of this strong hardwood makes it very durable. Best of all, it just feels good in your hand.
Quality workmanship, well-balanced form, and an emphasis on usability make Iron and Wood Garden Tools a unique addition to any home or garden.
