Hey guys I wanted to share a piece of art with you. The turtle started out as old rusty 8" pipe. I had just gotten a new cutting torch and was trying to rid my self of some of the scrap metal in my back yard. I shined it up with sanding pads and colored it with a cutting torch. Would like a little feed back when you get the time. Peter

Great job! It barely even looks like a rusty 8" pipe now...

I love the heat circles on the shell.

Cool! The shell and the heat pattern makes it look more like a Ornate Diamondback Terrapin. Diamondback Terrapins range from Texas to Maine and hibernate in the mud in estuaries along the shore line. The female only comes ashore to lay her eggs and the male only if ill. Maryland considers them a fish, go figure, and allows you to catch up to five a year as they are getting rather scarce. This is the turtle of the "Fighting Terrapins". You cook them like lobster, throw them kicking and screaming alive into boiling water. Nice way to die. Make more turtle sculptures!

Totally AWSOME I love it.

Very Nice. Preserving the efforts of the initial fabrication of a product while converting it into something cool has always been a great achievement! Keep up the effort!

I was just looking at it again and do you know what the gender is? Well you have it's tail correct for male. Just thought you would like to know if anyone asked.

I never really thought about the gender....male I guess since its anatomically correct. Thanks for all your feed back guys I will post a few more pieces soon. Peter
