This is the rose mentioned in my last long-winded post.

Hi all,

Here are a few photos of a sample I just finished for some fencing around the Lincoln City Rose Garden which is getting a giant facelift. The design came from the landscape architect running the project and kind of has an art deco feel to it. The leaves and petals were cut with a plasma cutter and then forged to their final shape. I used the large ladle dish in a green-mengal B swage block to form the rose and I textured the vine by carving lines into an old hammer and using it on 1"x1/2" solid bar stock. I'll post a few picts when I start fabricating the panels.
