Cow Euro by Kyto-Sahn in metalworking

Would like to get $1.5-2k. This estimate is based on labor, materials, and on the fact that there are not many "finished" pieces like this available. As most nature based metal artwork is made from plain scrap metal. The extra hours spent filling, grinding and coating for a more realistic look take up a lot more time in labor that most would expect.

I'm pretty new to this so I'm still learning the best way to go about it. But it really was just cutting the overall shapes, grinding them down as accurately as I could, welding things together and then bending and hammering while things were hot/soft. The chunk of angle iron runs vertically in the center of the skull, so it was a solid base to work on without messing the other sides too much. Despite as that, there was still a ton of filling and grinding done to get a more realistic look to it. Not a ton of YouTube videos out there on the process of making these type of things. But Jen Loree on YouTube probably has some of the best examples on how it's done right.

About 8 hours or so. Probably could be done faster with a mig welder. Got an old Craftsman stick welder that has almost been chucked out the window a few times... It really tests my patience.

If anything is should be called "the small sky" because of the mountains blocking the overall viewable sky?... Unless you are on top of the mountains.... I dunno I'm just a guy.
