Tyler Murch Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 This is a wrought iron vessel I forged from 2-1/4" wrought iron. Keep scrolling down for more pics I wanted the grain to split, and it did. It's nice and hefty and looks like wood. I'm going to be offering this one for sale after I post some pics of it all cleaned up. This took me two hours to do by hand. I upset it some first, then hammered the "thingy" into it. It was fun to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Turner Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Hey Ty I see you got the wrought, that looks pretty cool. The split is a little big for my liking but my wife says I have no taste anyway :roll:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Murch Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 Here it is with another one that I did a few months ago. They have a nice contrast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Murch Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 Thanks guys. Hey Clark, the "thingy" was a large trailer ball. Hey Mike, it's ok with me. There's no way to control it. It wasn't exactly what I wanted, but it's cool. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Turner Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Hey Ty I know that wrought likes to tear like that. Did you keep the heat up on it? I actually like the last shot you posted the best, I also like the texture of the wrought over the other one as well. That finish looks real nice gives it an older feel to it like it has been around. So when are you doing the other? Did you etch it at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hicks Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Where you getting the wrought iron? Are they some of the chain links Ive heard about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Murch Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 Mike, I'm gonna do the next one differently. Don't know when I'll do it though. Ron, it was chain link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
