Very cool Dan! The corner joinery looks great. It looks like you are missing a rivot on the 3rd section from the left on the bottom? Well done

-- ~ Inspiring those who inspire me ~

Thanks Keith … I was going to drive in the missing rivet and got side tracked

Fantastic Dan!

Man I really like the “crosses and rivets” that tie the corners together.

I love this! Beautiful work as always, Dan.

Hey hooky … stoneware is a type of clay body that when fired in a potters kiln turns into durable hard ceramic

The bronze finish is another process …here is a link to a blog I did last year that explains the processing

Nice work Dan, reminds me of a bed frame foot board, can only imagine what the head board would look like.

-- I can so I wood but why are my learning curves always circles

great dan thanks for directing me to your blog it helped clarify lots of things but as always it createss more questions (sometimes its a curse )

so here goes

are the tiles created from a mould that you have previously carved or or is every one sculpted free hand then fired (dont worry im not copying your idea because a carver im not its just my curiosity getting the better of me)

Hard to pick a favorite of yours Dan but this ones way up there. Fantastic!

Do you just put out one piece or do you make extra tiles? The tiles would be very popular in many situations in home design. Just wondering….......

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

Hey Jack
The beauty of making a plaster mold is the ability to make several tiles from the same mold, rather then framing a woodcarving which is a one and its gone display.
I make so few tiles, that I rarely, if ever, sell them without a frame.
Regards
DAN
