Here is a pic of a huge engraving/sculpting project I just finished. This is cast aluminum. Customer had the tank cast with the crucifix in it. I took it from there. Also included is a link a webpage on it. At the bottom of the page, click on "The Process" to see the progress shots of it.



The titlle of the bike is "Godspeed".

Yes it is very nice work. Do you have any pictures of the pattern used to cast
the tank? Was an actual sporty tank used as pattern or was a pattern made using the tank dimensions? I have always been fascinated by cast aluminum tanks. Just not really sure of the process....

Holy cremola! That's really amazing work.. 210 hours well spent. I hate to think what the bill will be for the whole bike!

I can only imagine the patience and practice that have gone towards you working at this level of your craft. Looking forward to seeing the rest.
