One of my other addictions besides blacksmithing is all that is rusty. I think rust looks great! There are sooooo many different shades of ocher and sienna and lovely reds and browns, its like the blood of the earth. Any time I see something with a good coating of rust all I can think is, “oh, how can I use that?”

This work was a lot trickier than the others because I used 1” pipe instead of half inch round stock. Forging them into nice even spirals was a lot harder than I thought it was gonna be. But as you can see it worked out.
