Title: My fountain
Post by: Madrun Badrun on July 26, 2007, 12:01:29 AM
Took me since October to make it.  The roofs are made from blood wood and the other wood is tennasee aromatic ceder.  The roofs were all hand carved. 

Currently the pump is way to powerful and it's splashing like a bitch.

That's great. If you have the motivation and creativity to make something like that, then by all means you should definitely have a career possibility for it in mind. I still can't figure out what the hell I want to do with my life but I'm going to major in Accounting.

lol a buddy said his mom would pay $1000 for it, though I do think I can sell it yet ( it's actually not really done yet, I still need to put on some doweling but that might take me a year to carve  :-\), and it's cost about $500 to make and I've but over 100 hours into it so i do think I could sell it for the price it's actually worth. 

If I had the tools I would love to make another one to sell, I've got an idea for one based on a Shinto gate (or what ever there called)

Did you say that you hand carved the roof? :o
   

The flare or curvature was done on the table saw but the detail was all done with a palm chizsle.

I'll have to think about it and see what I can do to get this splashing down because it's meant to be for indoor -- though in texas it could be outdoor probably because theres no snow.  Anyways right now I got to keep it and show it off; it's like my new baby, lol, in fact I think i'm going to gaf it, lol.
