Classic Baroque Composite Ornamentation

Original ornamentation with missing pieces

Replicated ornamentation using WoodEpox and test mold

BEFORE AND AFTER!
Using the first mold, which has several flaws, I cast a test piece and am not displeased. My good friend Andrea, an outstanding Historic Sites consultant, gave me information about WoodEpox that is a marvelous product and as you can see, looks very much like the original Composite Ornamentation from 1926. I mounted the replicated piece on a thin piece of wood and painted it gold to see if I have to make any adjustments.
