Turtle Recycled Metal Sculpture

A shell made of gears. A head that looks up at you.

A desk-size turtle hand-welded from 41 reclaimed steel parts and 89 welds. The domed shell is built from stacked washers and sprocket teeth; the flippers are cut plate with a hand-ground edge. Small enough for a windowsill, heavy enough to stay put.

• Approx. 5 in long · approx. 1.0 lb
• Hand-welded from reclaimed automotive and industrial steel. No molds, no castings.
• Clear-coated finish; dust with a dry cloth, keep indoors

Every Vault 88 piece is one of a kind. Part placement, weld pattern and patina vary from the photos. That variation is the signature of hand work.
