Mumbo Yoyo is proud to offer the finest in Pewter products. The products offered by Tin Woodsman are not only beautiful but extremely functional. That includes the measurement capabilities of each of the spoons, and cups.
A new piece of Tin Woodsman Pewter is created using a number of different artisanal techniques. An original design is crafted by hammering, cutting, bending, shaping, welding, and carving.
The original is then baked in a pressurized rubber mold. Once it has cooled, channels are cut into the mold to allow molten pewter to easily flow through the mold.
A ladle of molten pewter (at a temperature of 450 degrees Fahrenheit) is poured into the mold while it is spun at high speed in a centrifugal casting machine. This ensures that all of the detail of the mold gets filled.
After a short cooling period, the newly cast piece is removed. Each piece is then carefully sanded before finishing. The piece is then darkened and the highlight details hand-polished to create the unique tone of pewter artwork that collectors love.
