MRobb Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 This design was suggested to me by a family member. This is my first try. My wife snagged it as soon as she saw it. I'm glad I got a pic first. Critiques welcome. Thanks for looking. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyGeorge Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 WOW!! That is really cool, Mitch. Thanks for sharing with us. Any chance that we can get some BP info on it? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Beautiful! Nice lines and life to it. Great texture. For some reason I'm always drawn to edges. I'd take a file or belt sander to the leaf edges to round them off slightly and then re-forge them. I think a soft edge is more natural than a hard edge. Can't wait to see what you do with the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRobb Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Thank you all for the nice comments. It means a great deal. Curly - A BP? I've never done one. Hmmm.... maybe. It seems simple enough to do though. Randy - Thanks for the tip. I agree. After looking at them, softer edges on the leaves would be better. Beth - The rose is like any other. I just cut the stem real short and used the leaves underneath as legs. I then tack welded the leaf stems to the stub left over from the stem. For the center, I clamped a 1" steel coupling to it and formed the first set of pedals around it, creating the round center. Seldom - Thank you very much.
