Hello everyone. I am a bit new to wax casting and have a few questions. I would much appreciate any help!!!

I am looking for a place to send my wax carvings. I am wanting to have them cast into some form of brass or other metal and then gold or silver plate them.

First of all can someone recommend a good casting house? Secondly, can someone tell me how pricing typically works? Do they charge first to make a master mold, then per piece on the tree, then per piece according to metal? Also, do you typically use their polishing services or do this yourself? Also do they send me the master mold, and I just send it back whenever I need new pieces?

Thanks in advance.

Some of us have had good results from West One Castings. For their services just phone them.
They don't have a web site, but here are their details: http://www.londononline.co.uk/profiles/181879/ Dennis.
