  12. Fabricated Monument sign

    ok… you are all misunderstanding the posts…. they are not poured. They are hand sculpted onto a wireframe and steel skeleton. They are supposed to be out of round and have some character. If I wanted perfect cylinders, I would have poured them in sonotubes at the job site. The whole reason...
