Have you seen this one?

I know we've seen the giant blue balls, but the rest is new to me.

Looks mostly cast, a bit too clean for hand built, but I may be wrong.

The cone tables are interesting. He's adept at massive in-ground support,

though the indoor one is a bit of a puzzle.

Hey, Linnea!

Thanks for the intro! Buddy's site is going into my inspiration file.

I love the cone and pyramid tables. Very, very cool.

I agree about the casting-look to the pieces, but it might also be attributed to the pieces being sanded and a sealing product that gives the shiny appearance.

My favorite pieces are the benches. I LOVE them!

Cool site! I have also been experimenting with cones. I am not as talented with a chisel and sand paper as B.R., but have been using the new and stronger orange traffic cones as molds. I make torches out of them by sticking a tiki torch fuel can in the narrow portion then tuffaing around them. When they are set I just pop the torch out. It works great. My question is...How does B.R. get the cones to stand on the narrow end of the cone? It seems there would be a balance issue if I tried to pull it off...

Mary - how do you display your torches when they are done?

Laura,
Actually they are pretty similar to the regular traffic cones I use. Except they don't have that flange at the bottom. They Look Like tall incense cones ;) My friend wants me to make 8 of them for her so she can put them around her pool. Not only will they add ambience, they'll keep mosquitoes away with citronella oil. I need to get pictures so I can post. I have yet to do any picture posting. I'll see what I can do so you can get a better idea.
