    Default New metal flower

    This is a new flower I was working on today.

    The petals are some 3/4" kidney bean shaped drop outs I had laying in a bucket. The center is a 6" round piece of 4" plate.

    Tomorrow I'm going to make the stem out of some 1 1/2" square bar, and find some kind of base.

    picture 7 would say it is not stainless. Looks cool must have taken quite a while to sand out.

    Nope not stainless, Can't find any good stainless scrap around here. Can't afford it either.

    Took about 4 hours, and 3 - 36 grit flap discs to get it decent looking. I'll hit it with some 120's before I clear it.
