September 25, 201015 yr Tree has 120+- forged leaves,trunk was made from 3" square, base 1/2 plate in layers,plumb brown and sculpt nouveau finishes. 130 hrs, 125lbs
September 25, 201015 yr Author Very nice piece. I like it. Thanks for the complement, guess I should have also said It's about 28"w x 24" h
September 25, 201015 yr Very good work. Love the paint job. Did you make this for yourself or client? Any photos of project stages, dies used etc?
September 26, 201015 yr Holy crap! What impresses me the most are the dead branch knobs that are jutting out of the trunk, well done indeed! Caleb Ramsby
September 26, 201015 yr thats a thing of beauty, and pretty decent size , a lot of work , takes persistence thats for sure
October 18, 201015 yr You must have a lot of time to spare. How many hours to make this masterpiece? I reckon you'd find it difficult to let it go (at any price). Everything looks forge welded. Care to share your texturing technique?
October 18, 201015 yr I agree with everyone else, that is beautiful and can you please show some work in progress of tooling pics. Truly inspirational. Rob

Everything looks forge welded. Care to share your texturing technique? Masterpiece...Thats the highest complement I've ever gotten! Thank you. Times dictate that it must be sold. Forge welding? Not possible, at least not by me.Lots of forging,bending, welding, grinding, and chasing,150+ hrs or so. Texturing Was achieved with special dies under a 250# hammer, and die grinders. Some good things happen when there's too much time on your hands!........thx mb
