COMMISSIONS

Have a concept for a sculpture you would like or an unusual object that could be made of bronze? From a detailed portrait to a doorknocker, if it can be made in bronze, you can have it done here.

Some of the more oddball things in bronze:

 
 

Huge pair of bronze door knockers

 

3 1/2 inch U of F seal

CLEANING and WAXING

Outdoor sculptures need to be maintained in order to last and to look their best. A bronze should be cleaned and waxed twice a year, more depending on location and surrounding conditions. A neglected bronze that has been left to the elements can, in most cases, still be brought back to life with a thorough cleaning and re-waxing.

   
     

MOLDING of YOUR ORIGINAL

If you have something of your own that you would like to have a mold made of, from a complex, detailed figurative piece, to a clay mask you made as a child, it can be done in a number of different rubbers to suit your needs. A mold can be made so your piece can be cast in wax to be turned into a bronze, here, or with a foundry of you choosing. A mold can be made to cast low cost plaster reproductions or plastic, resin, and "cold cast" bronze. A mold can even be made to directly cast low melt alloys like pewter or Britannia.

   
     

CASTING YOUR ORIGINAL

Once molded your original can be cast here as a one of a kind or as a small production run.

   
     

CUSTOM SWORDS, FITTINGS, and BLADES

Custom bronze fittings can be made to fit your existing steel blade to personalize it to your tastes. Entire custom, high carbon steel swords can be made to almost any design you can imagine. Bare steel blades can also be made for you to finish on your own. Please see the custom blades page for more details.

   
 

Mild steel claws made for fantasy re-enactment.

 

Steel gauntlets for blunt sword sparring.

 

 

LIFECASTING

Molds can be pulled directly from the human form and cast in a number of different materials. Preserve moments in time with representative casting.
