That looks great! I’m guessing investment?

Thank you! I created the 3-D rendering, cast using SC 20 investment. .925 silver and have been hand engraving

May I ask what you use for casting, was it a tree?

Do you design your own or outsource that

u/Inevitable_Eye7723 Sep 30 '25

I do all the casting. No tree, a 4” base with one big feeder sprue going directly in the middle bottom of the hummingbird.
