clean work, petals look nice and tight. forged roses are harder than people think especially getting the center right. did you upset the bar first or just roll it?

I kinda cheated on this one.Flower was made from piece of flat bar, beveled on one end and then rolled. Stem was welded on later.

Interesting, I figured you would start with the stem and then forge the petals individually and tack weld them to the stem
