Jared it took me about 40 hours to complete-not making a living off this for sure! but very rewarding since you guys enjoy them. Coley I am really trying to create some interest from people to get trophies like these made for overalls in BIG events. we will see. I like the one of a kind pieces the best more personal than just one that everyone has on their shelf....

If you guys want me to I can post pictures of how I start them out (process) and then how they end up. pretty cool to see them go from a piece of clay to what you see in the picture.

That is truly beautiful and one can only be proud to be able to display such a work of art in their home.

i agree Mike - I think that special trophies like that have a very important part in arm wrestling. What type of cost would make it worth your while to build these? Could you come up with a few sizes and cost?
ps - I showed my son who is very interested in Art.... We'd love to see a youtube how to video by you....
Keep me Posted.

jared its worth my while to do these regardless since it is rewarding in other ways. I started doing this after playing with my three year old son using play dough! I dont have any art training and actually have learned most of my stuff from you tube!! its really amazing what you can do with your hands if you focus hard enough. I will pm you if youre serious about wanting prices or sizes. pretty famous sculpture already........on front of world of armwrestling website.
