Description An elk design I came up with.

I've been working on crafting smallish sculptures of wild animals. After the success of my moose, I decided to make up some other items using similar design.

This elk sculpture is roughly 9in long and 8in tall at the antlers. Crafted from 18 gauge steel, with the base made from much thicker sheet metal. The jumbled rocks are just thick scrap metal I cut into chunks and arranged on the base. I used a Copper Rust Patina for the color, buffing the patina off along the haunches and belly to lighten the color. I then sealed it with a satin clear coat to protect the color and give it a nice shine.

Sculpture took me about 6hrs to craft, surprisingly, given how small it is and seemingly simple the design. But, it turned out great, and is a really nice item to have in your home or office.


FOR SALE!!

I would be happy to craft one of these if you're interested in buying one.

This is exceptional for metal sculpture. The smooth lines of the body and horns and the curve of the legs. The color is dead on and captures a sense of mood. I'm sure the one you made this for was very happy!

Super stylish!

Have you done other animals [besides Deer] as well? This technique seems like it would lend itself well to Rhinos and/or Elephants and such.

I have not yet. So far those 3 are the only ones I've done because that's what I've had immediate requests/interest for. I have a buffalo design in mind I want to try. But really, this design could work for just about anything. Definitely worth looking into

I look forward to seeing this project progress.
