Poodle wax positives for lost wax bronze

This post shows the wax positives that were casted using the molds. The wax castings are hollow with walls ranging in thickness from 1/8" to 3/8". After the wax castings are re-detailed, they will be ready for the "ceramic shell" process.

Each section will be cast in bronze as is and welded back together to form the life size poodle.

In this image you will note the jaw has been re-attached in order to avoid complex welding issues down the line.
