Master  2504   Southwest Iowa |  Subject: Sunburst Wheel Penny FarthingThis is just in raw metal. I have a lot of work yet to do, but have over 8 hours in just the front wheel. I am making this for a juried art show and hoping they will let my hobby art in.

Master 1970 Somewhere on the Tennessee River | Subject: RE: Sunburst Wheel Penny Farthing I do like it very much. I wonder if it might be improved just a bit with matching the smaller wheel's spoke pattern with the larger wheel's. Just a suggestion, hope you don't mind. |

Master 2504 Southwest Iowa | Subject: RE: Sunburst Wheel Penny Farthing Yes, MadMath, I tried to get a similar patter on the rear and it looked too busy and even my wife thought so. I also tried a star in the center and also a straight spoke and attempted a spiral center and work out slowly to the outside and that one I didn't even save the parts from it it was so bad. This is the best of what I have tried. I know from many picutres of a penny farthing the rear wheel has very few spokes, so I was trying to not make it look "over done". I have had that problem with other wheels and had to start again. They looked good in my mind. :-) And I am always open to suggestions. I finished some pieces (still raw metal like the PF above) that are on my FB page for a cattleman's association, and was asked if I could do more of the bull's head, and make changes. Yes, always open to new ideas.

Edit: Someone asked me about the size. It is a 52" front wheel. Approximates are 56" tall by 70" wide. Edited by flip18436572 2013-02-11 2:45 PM |
