I would have to say sea turtles are some of my favorite marine life. Surfing on the North Shore of Oahu a surfer sees many of them. I call this piece "Rusted Sea Turtle". 14" inches high. Turtle is resin cast with an actual bronze and iron coating. The seaweed is by surfer/artist Sam Bernal. It has an iron rust finish. The patina effect I use makes every one a little different. Sea turtle is suspended above a custom resin and wood base. Wood portion is crafted by the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban method. It involves burning and staining. Awesome effect. This piece makes an incredible trophy or award. Weighs a hefty 4.4 pounds
