When I go down to the warehouse to swap out the molds
& pick up a new one I don't know what's in it until I cast it.
Even if I open it & look.
Not much room & it's dark & I'm looking at it inside out.
After I cast it I go down to see if I can find
the original wood carving & there are still many
of then there if you know where to look.
Then I look to find original castings if there are any still left.
I was sure this last Tang guy I did was the one in the inside garden. It is not.
I couldn't find the original carving but
I found the last of the castings.
Check this out. It was made about 45 years ago &
this is all that's left.

Here's the new freah one I just installed.
