This page is dedicated solely to the work of my apprentice, Josiah Boomershine. A place for Josiah to showcase and sell his available work.  This also helps him to earn an income and learn the business end of the craft while apprenticing full time.

Many of the blades Josiah makes will have been joint efforts involving both our labor and every blade he finishes is fully inspected by me and receives my full endorsement prior to sale.
