Nice looking work, and a cool looking pooch, too! Did you also do the lamps that bracket the mirror?
Did you do the scroll work or buy the steel already formed?

The work looks good.......but might I offer a suggestion.....the open end of the scrolls create a possible snag hazzard. Keep the end tight or large enough the collar can't get hung up. It can happen. Keep up the good work.

Very nice work, but...
Isn't the mirror a bit high for that dog?

Wow Mac!! I expected that humor from Monte!!!
If it was MY dog, she'd be barking at herself all day long!! I pull up at Central Pacific Bank, and she's barking at the poster of THEIR dog!!!
