Mike welding bronze castings together for the life-sized buffalo.




The shells are cooled, and the ceramic is broken away from the bronze. The bronze is sandblasted and welded together like a jigsaw puzzle.

The welded seams are then ground or chased out using high speed grinders. The sculpture is sandblasted and ready for the patina.
