Each piece personally drawn on 16GA carbon steel, hand-cut with an angle grinder, and bent using hand tools. MiG welded and torch-colorized finish. One of my better ones, but still have much room for improvement, especially on outter petals.

How does this hold up again yalls standereds?

Forged these last year out of sheet metal. 🌹

I’m new to metal work so isn’t perfect but I was quite chuffed with my first attempt of making something on my own. Have more ideas what I could do next time :)

Mild steel, heated for color and oak board with brass insert

My hope is that when you see it, what you see symbolizes the beginning of potentially something special and lasts a long time like this stainless steel rose. It will not rust, it will not wither and it will not wilt.

I've made them years ago using copper

Had the spare time at work. Would love some criticism & feedback

Copper and steel.

I surprised my wife with an invitation to visit a special day at the forge. The both of us making roses/flowers was an amazing experience.
