Lost Wax Bronze Casting (we haven’t lost it yet…)

We’re finishing, or ‘chasing’, the map sculpture in wax before the wax cast is dipped in ceramic shell solution at the foundry then fired to melt the wax out and harden the shell for the bronze pour. We’re going over the wax cast with a fine toothed comb and literally crossing our ‘T’s’ and dotting our ‘I’s’.

(And look what we found!)
