I got the confirmation that this job is a go. But I don't believe anything until the deposit check clears. Or they at least send me some blocks to carve!
At this point I don't have the sketches from the Architects as to exactly what these pieces will look like but this gave me enough to go on to bid and have a very good idea of what they're looking for
It's a pretty amazing home to say the least. It will come in at around 45,000 sq. ft. and be quite something with a grand ballroom, limestone columns all over the place with some amazing details even down to the flooring. I'll show the prints if you're interested as I have piles of them in my shop.
Anyway these quick shots of some of the prints hopefully will give you some idea of the home and the work I'll be doing. Granted there isn't too much carving but It'll do.
The first shots show the 10' doors but the design has changed from this shot of the elevations showing the door with the Transom.
There will be more panels ( as the first pic shows ) and of course the panels ( like the last job I just wrapped) will be framed with Leaf on Leaf Acanthus moldings as you can see the sketch in the second photo. About 30 ft. of 2" molding per door and there are 8 of them in this case.
Third shot a small Keystone.
Fourth shows what will be a pair of over 3 ft long brackets front and side view with swags.
Fifth show the entrance to the Wine room where there may or may not be some Corinthian capitals. Undecided as they aren't sure if it will be wood or limestone caps.
