March 13, 201313 yr I had shoulder replacement surgary in Novmember. Could not sit around so tried to do a little bit every day. I used an oak tree behind the house as a model. After a few revisions and design changes, this is the result.]
March 14, 201313 yr are all your branches and roots out of the same stock? or are they all different tapers welded to a parent stock? like it a lot!!
March 22, 201313 yr Wow, that's quite an achievement considering what you've been through with your shoulder. Get well soon. Hope the healing is going real well
March 22, 201313 yr Cant wait to see what your forgings will look like when you use the good arm... This is a beautifull tree. Not often do we see this theme so well balanced. Hope the healing is going as you wish. Yves
March 27, 201313 yr Very attractive ...indeed! I am a bit courious about the construction...are the attachments tig, mig, o/a , or forge welded? your connecting joints look quite realistic...maybe you offer some tips and tricks on how this project was accomplished. I for one would be indebted greatly to learn some of this technique. Thanks for showing this Carry on
March 28, 201313 yr Author Most of the split branchs were forge welded. The roots and branchs were gas welded to the main trunk. Gas welding allows a more natural looking joint as you can control the metal placement and flow. I always deeply bevel to get a good solid weld. Thank you all for the kind comments. I have to say that I was pretty satisfied with the finished results.
March 31, 201313 yr Nice table. It has nice lines and curves just like a natural tree. You nailed it!!
