Steel Rose for Sale/Trade

SOLD

Had nothing to do at work today so i made this.






I already have a few of them I made around the house so I am putting this one up for sale. Its a steel rose made out of 16th inch material. I work in a heavy plate fab shop so I actually had a hard time finding enough material this small to work with. There are 25 petals on the flower and its approximately 4.5 inches across. Overall the flower stands about 10 inches tall. Its mounted to a sturdy base total weight I would guess is around 6lbs.
Right now its bare metal. i would recommend having it powdercoated for a durable finish. if you would like to take my recommendation you can work out those details with KPCS and i will deliver it to him at no extra charge.

Since i have no idea on where to start this i'll say 150$ OBO i am very negotiable on this and i am interested in any paintball trades.

I would say about 6 hours. the petals were too think to cut with hand snips so i had to do a lot of trimming on the saw and sanding them to get nice curves.

I bet if you put that on ebay art collectors would pay several hundred for it. Of course, then you would be cheating your pals on MCB. It looks amazing, good luck!
