Surprise !!
How fun is this, following closely to my "re-use/recycle" theme, these awesome snake forms are hand forged from old worn out farriers (horse shoer) rasps, used to rasp and file a horses foot flat before the shoe is applied.
The fun things is that these have the already wonderful texture of the rasp on them which stays intact while I forge them, leaving the serpent with a fantastic scale texture in the end.
Each Rasp Asp is different than the next, scales can be fine or rough texture, the posses can be aggressive of passive. I purposefully leave out details such as eyes and mouth so you imagination can finish that. Most of these snakes are a full 24" or 2 feet long, a little shorter once coiled.
Some are running and some are just slithering through your garden.
Made out of high carbon steel, hand forged, and buffed to a luster while hot, giving interesting shades of blue and bronze while cooling down from the 2200 degrees I use to make them.
Once cooled I use several coats of clear enamel to finish it, however if one chooses to leave this creature outside, it will slowly turn brown over time.
Wow your friends while wondering through your garden or has this critter sitting hotsell next to your grill outside, it is sure to bring a gasp and a smile to those who happen upon it.
** Interesting Fun Fact, the last image shown is the original Rasp Asp image that I released over 10 years ago when I figured this process out, it went viral and you see it everywhere now on Pinterest and Google images.
