Hand Forged | Solid Wrought Iron | Master Blacksmith
Osmond iron consisted of balls of wrought iron, produced by melting pig iron and catching the droplets on a staff, which was spun in front of a blast of air so as to expose as much of it as possible to the air and oxidize its carbon content. The resultant ball was often forged into bar iron in a hammer mill. Finery Forge in the 15th Century
