Sea Turtles 29" H
Brass Baron sculptures are made by hand in the ancient cire per due, or lost wax, method. Artistic and labor intensive, this meticulous process builds ultimate value into every Brass Baron creation.
Even in simple terms, lost wax casting is complex process. A mold is first created from an original sculpture. A hollow casting is poured in wax and the wax impression is removed and refined. Once encased, inside and out, in a clay mold, the wax impression is kiln-fired. The wax melts out, and is... lost. The resulting void is then filled with molten brass. Once hardened, the brass casting removed from the mold. It is buffed, polished and patinized to give the piece its finished bronze appearance.
The artistic handcrafting of this elegant sculpture builds subtle variations in color, finish, size and shape into each piece. Every Brass Baron creation is ultimately unique.

I don't know about any plans, but I built some elevated beds by tkinag a piece of 5/8 treated plywood and building a stand for it out of 4 4 s. The stand has to be pretty stout, it will be holding a lot of weight. Build the frame first then set it on the legs, It has six legs. I have a full frame around the outside with two cross pieces evenly spaced from end to end. I cut sides and ends out of another piece of plywood 16 tall and then attached them to the floor by running a 2 2 around the edge , set back far enough so that the outside of the sides and ends are even with the edge of the floor. I ran another wall across four feet from each end and stiffened that with 2 4 s. I used screws throughout that are rated for use in treated lumber.I have three of the beds that are three years old and still going great. Don't forget to drill holes in the floor for drainage.
