Curly Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Just before Christmas I was commissioned to make up a Heron as a gift. The customer has just sent me some in-situ shots. Glad to see it still upright with all the horrendous weather we have had over the last couple of months. It is all based around a 6mm steel frame with hand cut feathers which have been heated and dipped in oil to give them some contrasting colours and protection from the elements.

Camero68 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Awesome piece! That heron has great details especially the feathers and the legs. A great and cool addition to a pond or lake. I bet your customer was satisfied. Beautiful work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 How did you make the feet and how is it anchored to the ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curly Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 How did you make the feet and how is it anchored to the ground? Not the best photo but you can just about see the feet, or at least one foot. Then there is a U shape bracket welded to the feet which is driven into the ground.

ausfire Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 That's a nice idea. Saves having him stand on a plate or something. And it would help give some rigidity to the legs rather than having them separate.Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
