Keep Your Pewter in Tip Top Shape

Sometimes a small dent in a piece of pewter can be pushed down or ironed out with your thumb. Really! In fact, many of my wooden straightening tools are shaped like the human thumb in various sizes.

Before attempting to iron out a dent, clean the piece and submerge it in hot water for several minutes. Then dry the piece and hold it firmly while rubbing or ironing out the dent with your thumb. Take your time and move the metal slowly, as it is...

So what I’ve done is line my upper stovetop shelf with several of my Salt Bowls &...

Stocking Ornament

Jeff Rand, living right here in Hillsboro, won last month’s raffle prize of the Christmas Stocking Ornament. Just in time to hang on the tree for the current holiday season. The Stone Bridge Farm Bed & Breakfast always looks sharp, but outfitted in Gibson Pewter? Magnificent!

I have two new product offerings in the works that are decidedly contemporary and original designs.

The Centerpiece Bowl is functional and beautiful. In fact, it may be the most beautiful piece I’ve ever created. Nearly 12″ in diameter with a distinctive beaded edge, it’s a low form bowl with a graceful shape that holds tons of fruit or anything you wish to feature as a centerpiece.

I’m also working on an oversize set of four coasters, aptly named, ...
