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.

Thanks! Unfortunately, you can't see the depth and curves of the piece. Pics just don't do it justice.

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.

Nice flight of fancy! Like the tenons and rivets. :P

The bird is the word!!!
