A whitesmith is a person who works with white or light-colored metal (such as tin) and does finish work, such as filing and/or polishing, on iron to remove black oxides.
Whitesmith can also refer to the person who polishes or finishes the metal rather than forging it.
The soft metals a Whitesmith uses are not as good for making strong weapons as are the metals used by a Blacksmith.
