©2015 Barry Smith - Tips of wedding cake knives - recycled silver-plated copper tray |
Quite some time ago I cut metal and made handles for 3 decorative silver plated wedding cake knives as I was commissioned to make
one knife that was ordered through Maleny Additions.

Well that one sold but I had not got around to completing the other two. Anyway I'm pleased that I made the completion of them a priority as the metal was sitting around on one of my garage-Studio tables. The main things needing to be done were drilling and riveting and final grind and polish.
Some photos of the completed pair follow.

Incredibly beautiful.
