While exploring a remote beach with my family, we found the shoreline completely covered in washed-up plastic. Instead of just walking past it, the vibrant, weathered colors gave me a crazy idea: what if I harvested this ocean garbage and transformed it into a piece of fine art? After hauling piles of trash back to the shop and casting it with three gallons of crystal-clear epoxy, I set out to carve a swordfish. The final sculpture, Synthetic Sword, blew away every expectation I had. Purchase These Swordfish Sculptures!!! Synthetic Sword: SOLD! Mahogany Swordfish: SOLD!
