CRUCIBLE FOUNDRY

Bronze Casting Work

For several years, Chris worked at Crucible Foundry in Tweed, Ontario. 

This foundry worked with the art of bronze castings, transforming works of art into bronze replicas that can further enhance the beauty of the original pieces.

From small pieces that could fit in the palm of your hand, to massives sculptures that had to be cast in muiltiple pieces, Chris worked to clean up, rebuild and finish these pieces so they were a perfect bronze replica of the originals.

Working at Crucible allowed him to further perfect the skills he would need for his bladesmithing adventures years down the road.

Below you'll find a gallery of some of the many pieces he worked on; including some process pictures for the larger pieces.
