Abstract Steel Sculpture – In Progress

A larger outdoor steel sculpture I started working on today. So far so good. The “balance” is right and scale seems pretty good. Just tacked up for now so I can continue to modify. To do: figure out topping it off and a few additions to the base. Stands about 6.5 ft. high and about 8 ft. wide so far.


Sculpture Supply – Latest Drop Off

Here are a few items recently dropped off by a friend of mine. Love the tapered cylinder! It is actually a log splitter if you can believe that. Will make a nice piece of sculpture I am sure. More shovel heads too!

Bottle Tree

I friend has been bugging me for a bottle tree now for over a year. I am not crazy about them although they are growing on me (pardon the pun). It will look great outside and complete with assorted bottle shapes and colors.

Jump Through Hoops

Minimal “found object” piece. Remnants of scallop dragging apparatus and piece of an old hay knife.

Euro Trash Girl

For my good friend Nicole.
1/2 steel square stock with small galvanized trash can.
43″x43″

Lobster

A lobster I did for a good friend of mine in Maine. Sits proudly in front of his house with his buoy. He has been a lobsterman for over 40 years so I was not sure how he would react. Lucky for me he loved it.

Retired Tool #9

A bit larger “Retired Tool” than the rest I have done so far. Looks a lot like a dancer (that has been the reaction from a few folks anyway). Still working on the finish and balance as this size is a bit trickier to keep stable on it’s base.

Retired Tool #8

I am still having lots of fun with the “Retired Tools” series. Here is one of the latest. Just got back from Maine with a bundle of tools and found objects. Still working on the finish but pretty much done.
