[TheForge] Drawer pulls

[Roger R Degner]

The beaver sculpture was about 5 foot tall
It was standing on its hind legs and I believe it had a 4 leaf clover in it
front foot  like it was going to chew on it.
I believe it was partially a 4H project
The welder/sculpture was Bob Wilde, possibly Dassel, MN
I have a picture somewhere but don't have a scanner
If I remember right the Teeth were 3 or 4 spikes wide.
Of Course the sculpture was hollow
All the heads were cut off the spikes and it looked like course hair when
welded together

Bob also made sculpture with the wire feed
Welded blobs of weld with about 3 feet of hot wire sticking out of the
handle.
He did flowers, a bass, a bust of his wife and the best was a Northern or
muskie about 3 foot long with its mouth open about to take a rappla lure.
The only thing not blobs of wire feed weld were the two rapppla hooks.  I
have photos of those also but still no scanner.  www.umbanonline.org has a
DVD of him making a flower with the welder.  There might be gallery pictures
of the muskie but I don't know which DVD it is on.  One of the early madness
DVDs

How tall would the beaver have been with his head.


Sorry.
