Turned Out

Here is one of the little fish shapes pulled up out of the sand with sprue still attached. A bit more of a scrappy pour with a big pool of copper on the top. The copper is entirely black when it comes out of the sand, but under the oxide it has its true color. When doing repeat castings with the same sand watch out for hot spots, you don't want to burn your fingers or melt your foam original.
