About Us

About Us & Our Business

We are a Family Owned & Operated BAMBOO & METAL Business including myself, Kathy Jackson, my Husband,
Bob Jackson, and our Son, Lucas Jackson. We live in what is considered a rural part of Rockingham County in
North Carolina (NC).
It all started out for us online as Sellers on Ebay in 1999. I can be found there under the Seller Name
Bambooriversedge.   The guys BLACKSMITH AND BLADE WORK can be found under JacksonForge on Ebay.

I am the "Bamboosmith". The Bamboo is grown and harvested right here on the farm. I specialize in making
Bamboo Home Accessories, (Bath Towel Racks Toilet Tissue Holders, Paper Towel Holders, Curtain Rods,
Tapestry Rods), Wall Hanging Items Of all Designs and Sizes, Martial Arts Staffs, Walking Sticks and Canes. ALL
CUSTOM MADE. I incorporate Kanji (Japanese Calligraphy, done like wood burning) into several items such as
the Karate Staff, the Cane, and Wall Hangings. I can do Most Martial Arts Styles, Most First Names and a few
Phrases like "The Journey IS The Reward", or "The First Step To Knowledge Is To Admit That You Know
Nothing", or Bushido~ The Way Of The Warrior, Tae Kwon Do or Shaolin Kung Fu! You can choose from Peace,
Love, Harmony, Ying & Yang and Much , Much, MORE !! JUST ASK!! Special Request are Welcome.
If I can't do it, I'll tell you. Discounts are given to Martial Arts Schools & Karate Schools OR ANYONE with
Multiple Purchases

The guys run the Blacksmith Shop (Jackson Forge) , making all the Mounting Hardware as well as other
Metal/Iron work. They are also Custom Hand Forged Knife Makers. Out back, you'll find the Coal Fire, Several
Large Hammers, and an Anvil! They have and can produce anything from a simple hand forged horseshoe or key
chain to a layered damascus knife with exotic wood and damascus hardware with Custom Beaded Sheath! They
do Shepherd Hooks, Bird House or Feeder Hangers, Garden or Indoor Serpent Sculptures, Unique Jewelry
Stands, Coat & Hat Racks, Hooks & Hangers of all kinds. They're amazing!

We try to work together as a team here. We enjoy sharing ideas and trying new methods as well as hanging on
to some pretty old ones. At times, we incorporate both Bamboo & Metal and come up with some unusual things.
I have 100's of pictures of items that we have made and could do again. I hope to get a catalog set up very soon
that will serve as detail on each product, including availability and a price list. For the time being, thruout the
website, we give you an idea of what we make regularly and include a purchase price. Shipping would have to
be determined at a later date. Feel free to EMAIL FOR QUOTES.

You may see on our site, from time to time, some of my "crazy works", as my family would call it..I call it "My
Creations" because I've had no formal art training and certainly do not consider myself an artist. My "works" are
unique and individually handcrafted or made by me. I have, for many years, been involved in painting,
decoupage, collage and assemblages, and other mixed media work. I love to make something out of nothing!
You NEVER know what I or WE may throw out there!! Even though we have some experience behind us, we are
always learning and appreciate any suggestions or comments. The day we stop listening, we will simply close
the book. We hope you'll spend some time browsing our site and happen up on "Just what you've been looking
for"!
Thumb through the PICTURES pages for many photos of our unique handcrafted items. Email about any item you
may be interested in.
