Serpentine Dragon Weathervane -- Commission piece for Discovery Channel Productions, Burbank, CA

Above: "Serpentine Dragon Weathervane" by David Smith.
Commission piece for Discovery Channel Productions, Burbank, California.
This weathervane appeared on the Discovery Channel's popular reality series, Monster House.

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 - 450 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 fortune as an antique -- an investment in fine art that your family will enjoy for generations.
