In regards to the Raku sculptures that I have been building gallery furniture for: Below is the web site of Selby Gallery in Santa Fe that Mary Mansfield has her work in. If you go to Mary's section on the web site, you will see one piece with a triangular steel base and copper plated pipes rising up to the sculpture. I also did most of the wooden bases. Mary uses a lot of "found object" material in her sculptures and bases. Like me, one of her favorite past times is a day wandering through our local metal salvage yard.
She had to laugh the last time she went to the salvage yard. They told her that they had some great new stuff she would be interested in........it turned out to be my scraps from the scroll saw cuttings that I had sold them the week before.
Last week, I did stands by drilling two holes 2.5 inches apart in large oil shale rocks with two 3/8ths inch copper tubing approx. 20 inches tall supporting Raku Masks. They are really cool. The masks have a pocket on the back that the tubing fits into. Of course, I had to save the dust from drilling the oil shale rocks so I could show my 4 year old granddaughter how well it burned. She couldn't believe that I could burn rocks. What a stink!
