"Thinking Out Of The Box" in clay. I am going to cast it in bronze.
Making the mold
Recycling the first wax cast after I messed up... (too many defects)
The two parts of the wax before being stitched together
The two parts of the wax cast ready to be stitched together
Gating completed
Dipping in the slurry
After the wax burn-out
Breaking the shell
Raw bronze, after shell removed and the gates cut off.
After many hours of sanding and polishing....
...and finally....it is done (If it is ever...)
