Cuttlefish Bone Casting Experience

Today we cast our cuttlefish molds in bronze and mine was a success!  I know a lot of other people had issues but I think mine was successful because the opening in to the design was relatively large and the funnel was smooth.  My design was also fairly symmetrical and wide, thus the pour didn't have any small areas to fill.  Here are some images from the process.

My first casting experience is complete!
