Water tower crow

We are building the waterwheel and a decorative water tower for a farm customer in Alberta. The water tower of course needs a weathervane. Since it is so high the metal sculpted crow needed to be large and measures a little over five and a half feet in length. There are more than three hundred custom cut and shaped feathers in this bird. The ten gauge steel will be allowed to acquire a natural rust patina and will look fabulous high atop the tower I’m sure.

Major one day sculpt

The entire crew worked hard yesterday to sculpt an entire section of wall for the NEB’s facade. It was an ambitious undertaking as there was a lot of detail involved. This section will be ready for painting next week. The frame that sticks out of the front of the wall is temporary to help safely balance the wall while we work on it and during transport. Stay tuned as this feature is completed…
