A tsuba cut from jewelers wax ready for lost wax casting. These used to take forever the old fashioned way with sculpting tools. Lovin’ my X-Carve.

NIce work on the wax.
Cat looks pretty good too but you messed up one of the ears…

I do a couple of antique sword restorations each year. The last one was a Nobukuni from the 1380’s. Definitely the oldest one I have had my hands on.
Nice job with the wax… You can tell the other one is photoshopped though… nice try!

I hope they get off when that thing is moving.
A good eye can tell the cat is a fake! Practice makes perfect.
What size mill did you use for the hair? like a 1/128?

I don’t think the cat is fake look at the reflection in the window. I think this is like the lunar landing. You could see the reflection in the space suit visor.
busted. the window is actually fake. I photoshopped it in.
