OK, this is as the TABs says, folk art, but this is it so far, I poured the Penguin today at about noon, waited about 3/4 hour and broke it out, started cleaning it up. It still needs a lot of work. The others are a freehand Eagle and a Killer Whale I made plus whats called a Thunderbird, Alaskan type art. I carved the Penguin in Tiger Wood first, it's been here before, then made a mold in rubber, poured the wax, invested it and burned the wax out. Poured the Bronze today. a few more days and It will look ok, get cleaned up and get some patina on it. I have started another wax Penguin without the base, just standing on he feet and tail, it will get mounted on some white Marble.
You will be forced, or at least have a chance to see the Penguin in a few days when it is done. I am just happy it is this far. and it's hollow and is 10" tall.
