[TheForge] Stumped!

[Grant Marcoux]

I have had good luck using pf varying diameters, and cutting "gores" of
differing lengths to induce the taper.  These gores are cut on a taper the
length of the pipe and the pipes is then closed and welded.  Bark texture
has been done with torch and/or plasma cutter held at an angle.  I have an
example in my "sculpture" section on my website, with pictures of the Almond
Eagle. at www.grantsforge.com

These methods work

A blacksmith by the name of Joe Miller has done that before.  He talked
about it, and even demoed a little of it on a DVD that I got from Roger
Degner.  Miller is a fantastic artist.  He makes jigs and what not, to build
all of the various items he makes.  The DVD is very interesting.  It can be
bought for about $7, or I believe you can rent it.
Show the results when you've made one Bob.
