beth Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 lovely yesteryear - there are animals all over the forum today! i particularly like how youve left that square section behind the head, ive never seen that and i think it works well on this. really nice job, i need to get my skills honed on these animal heads, they are very appealing :) thanks for posting :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsies11 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 its very nice work! ive seen alot of these animal heads but ive no idea how to forge them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yesteryearforge Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Thanks Beth It started out with the thought of being a fireplace poker but they can get kind of boring. So I thought I would let it go where it wanted to go and this is where it ended up. If I ever get a craving for Goats Head soup i'll have a use specific utensil to stir and serve it with :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beth Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 yeah well thats why it worked so well - you let it go where it wanted to. i have just done the same thing with a piece of lead that i had a certain idea about, but it wanted to do something else, and now im quite taken with it. i wont post it, its irrelevent here like so much of what i do!!

brianbrazealblacksmith Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I like it, Mike! Using the half-hammer faced blow on the near side to create the brow line really sets it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
