Thanks for listening to Episode 10 of the Artisans of Steel interview series with Tom Ward, JS.
Currently living in Turkey, Tom is a Massachusetts born metal artist, who not only studied under JD Smith, but also has a very impressive resume of accomplishments that span the globe. Tom makes beautiful damascus swords and axes, with a lot of middle eastern influence, and he has some really killer engraving skills. I have admired his work since I started Maumasi Fire Arts, and I'm super excited to have him on the show!  
You can see more of Tom's work on his website here: https://www.tempestcraft.com/
