Teebs Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I finally finished my second horseshoe sculpture, a unicorn as requested by my 7 year old horse crazy daughter. The horn is a farrier rasp, the piece around the eye is a section of sheet metal from a 45 gallon drum, the eyeball is the steel toe cap from an old warn out pair of my Blundstone workboots. The base Is from an old plow that I have since scrapped and the ears are cut from an old circular saw blade. I am happy with how it turned out, not sure yet where I will put it, am pretty much decided it's going outside unfinished and will just let it rust naturally.

ThomasPowers Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 What was that old saying? "Never play leapfrog with a unicorn". Very nice horn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 I have never heard that saying, but it couldn't be further from the truth! The rasp was a pain to forge, our farrier buys quality rasps that seem to be quite high carbon steel. I am happy with how it turned out, all the forging was done on the step of the anvil.
