This unique piece of iron sculpture was designed, forged and created by Heidi here at White Hart Forge. This fantastic Celtic Boar is made up of individually hand forged pieces one laid over the other to give a three dimensional perspective of action. Note the sharp tusks, the bristling hair and the hand forged spirals. The eyes are made from rivets of hard black steel. Also, the legs are articulated by using rivets to mount them to the body. This sculpture seems to leap out into the room! The color and patina were created by wire brushing the surface from scale, some light sanding. A light heat of around 500 degrees is applied to bring out the darker blues and violets in the polished steel. Then the piece is treated with a light bees' wax and Linseed oil mix under that same heat to provide a darkened luster. The entire piece measures almost 2 feet tall by 3 feet wide and weighs in at about 45 pounds. This is a very powerful piece of sculpture. It is for sale now directly from White Hart Forge at $2500.00
