Off to the foundry....for the last time before....

Tomorrow I am heading to the foundry again to monitor the quality and progress of the Kinnick piece. The final chasing is finished and we'll be starting in on the patination work which on a piece of this magnitude will take at least a week with several people working on it.
Dr. Henry Duffy - Art Historian, Author and Curator of the Saint-Gaudens National Historic site will join me on the trip. He has been closely following the progress of the entire Kinnick project. As an art historian of great reknown his enthusiastic response to the sculptures has been a nice shot in the arm.

In other LJN news: The two pieces which will be dedicated in Dublin, Ire and Carrick, Ire are now at the foundry getting cast. Those dedications will take place during the last week of October.

Keep the visits coming, LJN
