Nvils For Sale

here are many ways to prepare a stump, but this is the one that works for me. This system works if the blacksmith knows how high he wants his anvil, as it is not a system for which the height is easily adjusted.It is best to use a heavy wood that doesn't split easily. Some non-splitting and heavy woods are American Elm (best but hard to find), Sycamore, Honey Locust, Walnut, Mulberry, and Sugar Maple. Woods that are heavy but split easily are Oak and Ash. Stumps that split easily can be strengthened by shrinking an iron hoop or ring around the top and bottom of the stump. A stump with a hoop that is shrunk on might need to be redone as the stump shrinks or the top and bottom of the stump can be tapered a little and then the hoop can be driven on tighter as the stump dries.. A hoop that is tightened by a bolt is also a practical solution. A hoop with a bolt can just be tightened as the stump shrinks. Often the local tree service company will have, or can acquire, a suitable stump. Lighter weight woods such as Cottonwood, Pine, etc. are last choice woods for an anvil stump as they are light weight.
