HEAP of JEEP Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Did my first show this past Saturday. The show was only so so, but I did get this commission piece out of it. They wanted a 4' fire poker for their backyard fire pit, and it had to have nautical theme. So did my first anchor, then used some 3/16 rod, that I twisted, to symbolize some rope for the handle. Gave it some reverse twists about half way down the shaft, just to give it a little character. Just sent them the pictures and they are ecstatic, so I'll take that as a win.

Frosty Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Nice piece. Well done. Looking at the shackle ring on the anchor finial makes me think a couple more would make it a multi tasker and become a tripod for cooking or spit for roasting. I recommend you not open the hook so far next time though that one looks good. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausfire Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Very nice work, sir. I guess the hand would fit comfortably on the main shaft of the anchor, the tines acting a bit like a knife guard. The rope looks authentic. The heavy black finish is appropriate too. The buyers are happy and that's the main thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
