No Strings Attached

I made this for a close personal friend whose hobby interest is playing and somewhat collecting guitars, Gibsons preferably. I free-lanced this design but it is Gibson-like. I call it "no strings attached " for obvious reasons.

This ring is 100% hand carved from a block of wax. Total effort, working a few hours at each session, was about a week, start to finish.

There is a bit more information on this project at: Ramblin' Dan's Workshop.

I am now confident with the lost wax casting process. My intention is to work on more detailed designs, since I have less fear of losing my work in a bad cast. It's become a lot more relaxing and fun to do. Actually, it always has been fun ;)
