The armature for Kraay’s giant tire horse armature is now fully welded, and Matt has been busy tying on the diamond lath when he wasn’t busy cutting steel for the. The horse's head and tail were fabricated as separate pieces and will be assembled on site. The horse’s mane is fashioned with some 2” three-strand synthetic rope. These rope sections are looped over a temporary frame to keep them out of the way while we work and for shipping. Our client will cut these ropes to the length they desire and unravel the strands to make a good-looking mane.

This coming week, we’ll trowel on the concrete and sculpt this giant horse. Stay tuned…
