Hammering Progress
This piece took 38 rounds of annealing and hammering to shape and smooth into its final form. To prevent cracking on areas of extra stress, further precautions were taken such as additional soldering and filing of the surface. After all hammering was complete, the round bottom was formed and soldered on; the round bottom sits on the wood base through a peg-in-tube system that allows it to stand with stability.
