Experienced Blacksmith
Position Description: Oak Hill Iron + Wood is looking for an experienced blacksmith. If you have questions or would like further info about the opening, please contact Chrissi Jordan at (910) 262-9800.
Founded in 1989 as Oak Hill Iron, we have been serving western North Carolina and beyond for over 30 years. Over the years, Dean and his crew’s reputation grew as the highest quality and most creative providers of hand-forged items in the region. As time progressed, the company’s sawmill and kilns grew as we became more well known for our ability to create beautiful live edge slab tables, countertops, and barn doors.
Today, our shop is comprised of a professional team of eight highly trained blacksmiths and woodworkers who are continually creating the most imaginative works of art in hand-forged steel and live edge wood slabs.
