William Brand Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 . Little Flaws here and there on this one but the next one will be corrected. Where you see flaws, I see weathering and the antiquing of life at sea. That's one beautiful piece of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbet Jones Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Ooooohohohoh.... droooool! Did I mention I have a buckle fetish erm... fixation? I'd be very interested to know what these puppies are going for! I'm only able to produce one at a time. So I am currently unable to price them I'm going to look into having some sent to a company that can produce say 20 at a time. Then I can sell them at a decent price. Right now I've spent countless hours and I have two of a single design done. No Cage for the bones of Gibbet Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just produce the masters then get them cast in bulk as I am sure you will get plenty of orders. ...and then I discovered the wine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbet Jones Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 I used the buckle design Jib got from me for Halloween. Took some pictures so everyone can see what it looks like on a baldric. I had my baldric made so I can switch out buckle designs. No Cage for the bones of Gibbet Jones.
