Randy Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Here's one of my latest pieces. Forged from architectural bronze, it is 3-3/8" high and about 1-3/8" round. This was made for a handle for a cane or walking stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Truly outstanding Randy! The skulls while stylized are very expressive without being depressingly so. It may be my battered brain but don't you do skulls more than a little bit? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 Thanks, all. I've done a few skulls as it seems to be a popular theme right now. I made several skulls and used them to make dies for my press. In this case I used a top and bottom die and squashed the hot bronze inbetween them, turned and did it again. As there is not enough resistance in the material the detail of the noses and teeth didn't show up and I got more of a spirit look instead of the skull look. Some times "mistakes" turn out better than we originally planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beth Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 i think so too randy, the fading in and out appearance of the skulls is way more subtle and interesting than if they has all been crystal clear. its wicked!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman50 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Suuuuper cool handle! Love the spirits/ skulls design, wish to see more cool items made of that design. Keep it up! ___________________ www.sawblade.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
