I'd picked up the little leaf spring a long time ago, it was destined to be a sail. When I got the chunk of rail steel, I had the rest of the boat.
This particular project was very time consuming. Drilling 1/16" holes in spring steel doesn't go real easily, about 5 or 6 bits broke off in the holes in the process. Stringing all of the beads was on the time consuming end also.
But the work turned out pretty good. I took it to an artist mart today and some mariner types gave it a lot of looking.
I've got a website out there - ADAMS-FERRO.COM with most of my works shown. The works go in several different directions.
