I use Earth elements, sculpting and Old World metalsmithing techniques to create some of the
finest hand-forged architectural elements, especially weathervanes.
The process is done entirely free-hand, without the use of moulds, stamps, or machines.
It takes an average of 80 - 250 hours, depending on the size and complexity of the design,
to create each piece. The end result is a unique work of art that will someday be worth a small fortune as an
antique -- an investment in fine art that your family will enjoy for generations.
