The Forged
A hand-carved Indiana limestone sculpture where ancient stone meets refined craft. The Forged features a hand-carved wooden cross held to the Indiana limestone by copper wire — bound by hand, built to endure. Every cut, every wrap, every detail shaped in Mike Ayers’ studio in St. Charles, Iowa. No molds. No machines. No two pieces alike. A powerful piece of Christian home décor for a mantle, bookshelf, office desk, or sacred space. An unforgettable gift for weddings, housewarmings, graduations, or anyone whose faith is central to who they are. Ships via USPS. Handcrafted in Iowa from all-natural
5.5" × 3.5" × 2.5" | 3.13 lbs.
Materials: Indiana limestone, hand carved hardwood, natural leather or hard wire depending on piece. All materials are natural and weather resistant.
Care: Wipe clean with a dry or lightly damp cloth. Avoid prolonged soaking. Leather straps may be conditioned with a light leather balm to maintain suppleness. Indoor display recommended for longest life, though pieces tolerate outdoor use in sheltered settings.
Note: Because every piece is carved by hand from natural stone, color, texture, and grain will vary. No two are alike.
