I bought a small furnace to be able to cast( melt) a lot of the odd bits of metal I have trouble using at present. This means I can transform aluminium, brass, bronze etc and this is one of my first pieces combining the casting technique with woodturning and welding. The face is bronze and the base is all welded but the body is a recycled merbeau post. Its a simple piece but more of an experiment in seeing what I can do.
