Kane Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 The association with the driftwood makes a lovely assemblage like that even more interesting. Hopefully you'll choose to keep rather than part with it! ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Is the wood pedastooled or did you reattach it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Doren it is a natural association, as found apart from the prepping. I will post some close ups later. Cheers Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Adam I posted here for two reasons, one see what my friends of TFF thoughts on selling it and two to keep adding to my post. I will take yours and Kane’s advice and I will keep it. A rare piece like that will only come your way once. Thank you Adam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Not bad at all. You could use a bit of epoxy sculpt to complete it if you feel like doing a bit of art work. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to try it, when I get payed I will get some epoxy sculpt. If it ok with you near the time maybe you can give me some pointers. Thank you very much.

It's actually not at all difficult as long as you have a bit of feeling for form. The substance generally gives you a good couple of hours to do the job, so you're not working under pressure. Actually the hardest part for me is matching the color afterwards. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
