Latest work that is neat completion. Hand carved the lion and the surrounding frame in wax then cast in silver. The hand cut out each letter soldered on. The hand polished for shine!

Hope you like it!

give wax carving a go then go to a jewellers to get it cast but before hand ask how much it will weigh and how much it will cost!

how are you casting it?

**Matp85** · 26-08-2009, 08:05 PM

never used that or heard of it. Being used to working in busy workshop some methods or equipment i might never see or use post the results or some other clay casting so i can have a look would be interesting to see!
