About the Blacksmith

Burnt Beard Forge is run by John Bush, a retired Sheriff’s Deputy who discovered blacksmithing as a hobby and quickly fell in love with the craft. What started as a small backyard experiment turned into a passion for shaping steel with heat, hammer, and grit.John creates custom hand-forged pieces, including hooks, knives, decorative ironwork, tools, and one-of-a-kind commissions. His motto is simple:If you can think it, he can forge it.Every item is crafted with care, character, and a respect for traditional blacksmithing techniques.
