Horse's Doovers Concluded
Horse's Doovers Concluded
I did eventually devise a way of mounting a horseshoe onto a frame.
It was all a bit of a rush job so I didn't have much time to cogitate, but I think it came out not-too-bad and the customer was pleased. It's going into a charity auction today.
The print is by a local equestrian artist Daniel Crane and depicts Frankel. Racing fans will be familiar with the horse. The shoe is from his final race (the horse not the artist).

Re: Horse's Doovers Concluded
Nice work!!.. particularly the colour and the width of the flat. From an aesthetic point of view, I think a slightly deeper bottom section housing the horseshoe would have added a better balance to the completed piece. Nice touch though and I hope it raises a good price for the charity.

Re: Horse's Doovers Concluded
Out of interest how is the shoe mounted?
Re: Horse's Doovers Concluded
The original plan was to nail it on with proper horseshoe nails (Suitably shortened). But couldn't get any in time so it's strapped down with supersoftstrand. There is also a sticky-up bit on the shoe which fits snugly into a little cavity that a whittled.

Re: Horse's Doovers Concluded
I've always wanted a shed where I could whittle stuff into stuff, sounds like you have it all!
Re: Horse's Doovers Concluded
Actually, I didn't do any of the whittling in the shed. I did it with a drill and a Dremel+engraving tool.

Re: Horse's Doovers Concluded
I suspect that the glass only covers the image, not the horse shoe!
BTW, the O/P says that it is a print.

Re: Horse's Doovers Concluded
