gearhartironwerks Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 This is a sculpture forged this past weekend of stylized birds. The material is 2.5x1" and 3x1" mild steel. The ht of the birds is 44" and the fabricated base is 40". Joinery on the birds is tenon/rivets. The birds are finished w/black Guilders paste, and the base is painted black. Both are clear coated w/satin lacquer. John Emmerling Gearhart Ironwerks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, you can't see the depth and curves of the piece. Pics just don't do it justice. JE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngdylan Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Nice work John. Good to see you're as good with the artistic side as you are with the jig/tool making. I love both aspects of creative metalwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
