There is one last bit of sculpted concrete to complete. It has been left undone to make room for the scaffold, which is now gone. Peter spent the day welding up the armature for the newel post at the bottom of the staircase. It will be a stone dragon. A while back, Peter sculpted the dragon head, which we scanned to make a digital file for routing the giant light fixture that hangs in the Copper Crown Suite. The newel post armature will be made of a variety of materials, including wood, concrete, steel and Precision Board HDU, and sculpting epoxy. Peter is fastening this armature in place and then adding the lath. The sculpted concrete will soon follow. Stay tuned…
