j.w.s. Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Here I go, doing it again. I never had a need to do ornamental work before, however it's been getting kinda addictive, so, I figured I'd pass along some photo's of a wine rack I worked on today, this is the first time I've attempted anything like this so I'm still considering this a prototype. Any comments welcomed. -J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azIRonSmith Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Looks good. You may want to taper those tips at the ends. The abrupt cut off of the round rod looks more like the factory cold bent stuff you get at Pier 1 etc. I'm assuming you forged this hot? If so, you can get some really pointed ends and scroll them about in what I call little curly Qs. Makes em look more realistic. Also you may want to think about doing some vine textures. It will make the metal rod look more "organic". Good job on the first time ornamental work. Keep it going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrispy Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 great idea. I agree with azIRonSmithn about drawing down the ends and scrolling for a natural looking finish. Looks like thirsty work - all 3 botthes empty.... Hic! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
