Now that winter seems to truly be upon us, it's finally time to put our fireplaces to some use! I am lucky enough to have 4 fireplaces to set ablaze, so I can say with some certainty that the most important part of maintaining a perfect roaring fire is all in the tools you use. Having searched high and low, from online stores to antique shops on King Street in Charleston, I can honestly say the perfect set is hard to come by. That is, until I learned of Brent Dohn, a Columbia, South Carolina based builder who made the fateful venture into firetools. With a woodworking education from his father's own workshop, Brent crafts each tool by hand, resulting in a universal tool that is strong enough for large scale fires and beautiful enough for prominent display.
