Duuude! Amazing... Seriously, if I ever take up blacksmithing, this is exactly the kind of work I'd want to do, decorative, artistic, organic. You're about the only person who does blacksmithing that I want to watch.

Great textures! You have combined traditional and new techniques to create a wonderful piece of art! I think the hammer marks made by hand make this sign a wonderful work of art. We, the Makers, drive a time machine when we think about the technique and the work.🚘
