include: art metal, clock figurines, holloware, sculpture, damaged
statuary, tableware, lamps, part duplication and fine metalware in
general.

examples of our work by category.  

  Portfolio of original work by James R. Walker. This is a growing
  part of this web site. After 37 years working on objects made by other
  artists, metalsmiths and artisans, (which has given him invaluable
  insight and experience) he is now devoting attention to creating his
  own metalwork.

    Bronze plaques and memorials deserve to be properly cared for in
order to speak clearly to future generations.  We encourage you to
preserve the bronze plaques and memorials in your local community. 
We have provided information to help you do this.
