frogvalley Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Firstly, beautiful work. Very organic. and only use traditional forging techniques ... made from ten feet long 20mm round bar drawn out to fifteen feet and given a bark texture though-out. Did you do all of the drawing by hand or with a power hammer? How long did it take you to create this piece? That is a frak of a lot of hammer blows either way. I know because I create similar pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted T Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 As I drive up and down the pacific coast on highway 101 here in the US, I see exactly the same type of natural bends in the folage. It looks very natural! Nice! Ted Throckmorton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
