Leaping Stag Figurine, Hunting Miniature, Stag Sculpture, Handmade, in Fine Pewter, by William Sturt

This superb leaping stag figurine is about 6 cm long and is a fantastically detailed miniature ornament or totem.

Pewter has a wonderful deep luster & won't tarnish. All our work is guaranteed by William for life and if you are buying a gift you can be sure it will not disappoint you. William has been working with pewter for twenty years, he uses the best quality pewter, which contains no lead or nickel. It will not flake, rust or tarnish because no chemicals are used on it and it won't give you an adverse allergic reaction. If necessary, it can be gently cleaned with detergent or soap and a soft cloth.

When William makes a new piece, he first carves a master, using a variety of materials such as wax or wood, then he builds a mould using his vulcaniser, which heats and crushes pure silicon until it flows around the original piece. This silicon must be left untouched until it is completely cool and a cavity will have been formed within it that is an exact copy of the shape of the hand carved master. Then the hard part begins. Tiny ducts are cut into the mould to allow moulten pewter to flow into each cavity, and to allow air to escape during casting. The correct placement of these ducts is crucial to a cleanly cast item. Next William spends an hour or two testing and adjusting his new mould until he is completely satisfied. Then he begins casting using a centrifugal spin caster and as the pieces produced, they are left to cool then any rough areas are cleaned up by hand. The next step is to polish each piece, dry it and inspect it and send it off to its lucky new owner.
