"Sleeping Fox" Sole Authorship Hand Carved
A lockdown project when I could sink a whole heap of time in, I didn’t keep count but this is around 100 hours work.
Inspired by traditional Japanese sword guard carving.
Made from a huge water cast ingot of 60% copper/40% silver shibuichi.
All hand carved with traditional japanese chisels.
62mm by 60mm
Shibuichi is a Japanese copper/silver alloy (Typically 75%/25%) commonly used in sword guards and other fittings
