Image of a shield with a small dagger. Under it, a light green square has black text that reads: "George Carroll will display items commonly made
using bloom iron: hand forged nails, hoe blade, cauldrons, hammer, etc. In addition to these items, he will compare a Viking Age sword made of “steely” bloom iron and a falchion made from modern steel and their production techniques."

I highly recommend taking some time to chat with George. He is super-nice and an exceptional artisan. I had a great time talking with him last year about his experimentation with iron blooms.
