The Star says “Liberty or Death”

Do you find stories and work like this if interest? I started with a dry leaf and some speckles in concrete aggravate.

I’ve now developed, drawn, and relief carved the design. After heat treating, I’ll be able to make impressions of this Artwork for the next few hundred years.

I’ll develop the artwork into products. BD86AA3E-ECF6-4014-A722-E9E24829A731.jpeg

This is the 180 degree negative image making up the Tool Steel die. If you were me, what conclusions would you draw from the feedback?

See you tomorrow. Thanks very much.

I can’t believe how quickly you made that happen . From idea to production die . It looks great . When you press the first one out , it has to be very exciting. I’d find it had to stop without a test piece right away . I believe you’ll need a larger die cabinet now too !
I’ll never for a tour you gave a couple of us at one of your shoot -outs a few years ago .
I just wanted to stay at the die cabinet at keep exploring your pieces. They are some of the coolest tooling I’ve ever seen .

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks
Kurt

Thanks Kurt,

You know what it’s like to work Steel. Make it do what you want. That’s much of your appreciation of my steel carving. It’s real nice to hear a professional like your work.

How large is it?
