Thank you for the comps.
Recognition is rewarding.

I found the original wood New Caledonian roof finial.
He was in the inside garden.
I have no idea how long he'd been there.
laying in the dirt, leaning against a rock.
Leaning because his feet rotted off.
No way to tell how old he is. The mold was made
almost 50 years ago.
I put one of my castings there, standing.
So I brought him home, gave him a light sanding,
a Min Wax stain bath & he looks like he's 100 years old.
I'm gonna see if I can get the gift store to
put him in one of the display cases.
He deserves a break from garden duty.
