Chickens and Bikes
This is a prototype cut for a customer who wants a range of bikes like this in brass. I'm not totally happy with some of the lines yet, so a bit more tweaking and then I've got to experiment with different thicknesses of brass.

Hi Adrian,
Great looking work! What size are the assorted bikes going to be?

Re: Chickens and Bikes
They are 16" x 8", fortunately that's just about the perfect size for the customer as I couldn't have gone any smaller as I'm already using a 1mm bit with a profile cut for the cutout sections.
He wants them in brass on a black background with a dark stained frame. They should look nice once they're done, it will be a few weeks though as he's at the back of a queue behind a lot of furniture work.

I'm a huge BMW (old style up to R69 style) fan. You're really onto something there, Adrian. Love it!Adrian wrote: This is a prototype cut for a customer who wants a range of bikes like this in brass.
