I Forge Iron

Candle holder


Recommended Posts

Made this for a charity auction for a friend of the family.

 

The dome ends were forged with a baseball bat end on one of Salt Creek Forges swage blocks

 

I have to find a candle for it and put some kind of coating on it, probably rustolium.

 

 

 

Thanks

Russell

Way cool!  Hot wax or an oil finish would look far superior to spraypaint IMO.  if you are going to put that much effort into making something by hand I think the sprayed on paint finish just kills the aesthetic and makes it look like you overpayed for it at Home Depot Expo =/

 

of course YMMV :)
