Wood supports!

We were very busy today applying and sculpting the first fibreglass-reinforced-concrete on all of the ‘wood’ supports for our mystery feature. This type of concrete sculpting is the most difficult as almost everything was slightly out of reach and much of it was upside down. Getting the concrete mud to stay in place was a definite challenge. We spent about three hours troweling it all into place and then almost four hours carving in the details with a variety of tools. The end result was satisfying and a little bit ridiculous. This giant feature is pretty much over the top in every way imaginable. And a whole lot of fun!
