Hearth Tools
Made by hand in cast silicon bronze, our Hearth Tools have a burnished finish that will naturally patina over time. The stand, made from blued steel and seasoned cast iron, has a Horween leather pad (scrap from a local shoemaker) to protect your floor from its heavy base. The brush, a tied bundle of broomcorn, is designed to be used and replaced, if need be. When the brush has worn out, simply toss it into the fire. Replacement brushes are available.

Borough Furnace
Borough Furnace is a metal casting workshop in Syracuse, NY. We make our products by hand in small batches, using a traditional casting process that has been updated for environmental responsibility. Founded in 2011, Borough Furnace is owned and operated by John Truex and Liz Seru.
At startup, the core of our business was the Skilletron, a barrel-sized metal melting furnace that burns Waste Vegetable Oil at 2700°F to melt scrap iron. By using old fryer grease to fuel our furnace, we eliminated the massive energy consumption of a typical metal casting operation. We only use recycled iron as source material, keeping with our mission to consume as little as possible. We are currently transitioning to electric power, running our shop on wind off-sets, as we build towards on-site solar energy for 2017.
