Ontario Blacksmiths

The best way to chose a working Blacksmith for YOUR project is to take a look at their past work. Individual smiths develop stongly individual styles and different areas of expertise. We suggest you take a look at the GALLERY OF MEMBERS WORK to see who is active and what artisan best fits your own tastes.

Note: OABA policy is that only OABA members are listed on the OABA Gallery. We will post images of your work, your name, location, phone and web site.
