J W Bennett Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Had a gentleman that wanted a full size stalk of corn. This year it's hard to find one to copy in these parts. Anyway here it is. I still have to come up with some real fine copper for the corn silk on the ear but other than that and a little more clean up it is finished. Leaves are 14 Ga. Steel, Ear is 2" black pipe and 14 Ga. steel, Tassel is braided/twisted copper wire and the base is a disc blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J W Bennett Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 I figured out the corn silk (now it looks like an ear of corn on a bad hair day) and finished the clean up and shot it with 2 coats of clear coat. Customer was very happy when he picked it up this evening. Steve, I think I need to brace my floor joists:<) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
