Trip Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hey yall, well for the past few day's I have been working off and on, on a hand forged tree, and yesterday I finally got it finished. I got about 8-10 working hours in it, and the metal was just some scrap that a friend gave me. It stands about 3 feet tall, the trunk is made of 3/4" round, and the "vine" is some left over electric wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bentiron1946 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Is the copper wire holding on some of the branches? Looking good so far, are more branches in the offing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Is the copper wire holding on some of the branches? Looking good so far, are more branches in the offing? No the branches are welded on, and the wire just covers up the welds. :) What do you mean on "are more branches in the offing."? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 It looks kind of bare as far as the number of branches on the tree, nice branches but kind of sparse, it could use a few more. OK, so the copper wire is sort of like a creeping vine going up the tree, that works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 you could make the leaves out of copper and patinate them green! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
