Flowers

My wife loves flowers. When she suggested that we ought to replace the drapes on our front door, I volunteered to make a curtain rod with flower finials. Above left, you see the two finials I made. The flowers are modeled after a design we saw on a garden gate in Germany. On the right side, you see a tulip that I just finished. I am in the process of writing up the construction notes.

Here are the construction notes for the daisy. They were published in the November issue of "The Forge Fire," the monthly newsletter of the Indiana Blacksmithing Association.

Here are the construction notes for the water lily.
