Meticulously hand made in the USA by Saign Charlestein
Saign is recovering from surgery and back in the workshop on a light duty regiment with some help.
All orders are being processed, but expect slightly longer wait times than usual.
Stakes will not be processed until June 1st at the earliest.
I do have pitch, granulation shears, sanbags, a limited amount of chasing hammers and chasing tools in stock that should ship out shortly after ordering.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Thank you for your understanding, patience and support!
