<p>[QUOTE="the blacksmith, post: 9499469, member: 20148"]The casting, to be honest, is rather crude, obviously a sand casting, and not a very good one unfortunately. You can see the lack of finish in the insides of the design. Lost wax casting is far superior in most cases and would have resulted in a much better result. I wonder why this wasn't done, as it saves a lot of file work and finishing afterwards. </p><p>As a metal worker, the poor finish of the casting is obvious, so it is puzzling why they put the work into finishing the bowl of the spooon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
