Impress your memory of the eclipse into metal. Impress your friends. :D
I polled my followers about which eclipse to create. I decided to make them all.
Large size only for now. All are made on 1/2" stock.
There are four stamp designs. Choose one or choose a set.
Left to right as shown in line images.
1> Total Eclipse. The middle moon shadow covers all but the rays and a slight outline. (This is the same as my Sundance stamp, included here for convenience.)
2> Near Total Eclipse. The middle moon shadow is slightly smaller, so the outline is offset and larger.
3> Annular Eclipse. The middle moon shadow is smaller still, with a larger outline, offset.
4> Annular Eclipse Enhanced. The moon shadow is a lot smaller, so the larger outline is quite evident and offset. An artistic interpretation. :)
Tips: Use underlayment to puff out the middle a bit. Use a large enough hammer to really set it on the first smack. Will likely need to tilt and whack a few times to fully impress the design. Enjoy!
**********************************
These are created by me in Minnesota.
Shanks are a bit less than 3" long.
These are sawed, filed and engraved by me.
They may each be a little different, as I make one for you special.
Hardened and then tempered tool steel. Rockwell hardness batch tested.
INTERNATIONAL: If you choose more than 3 or 4 stamps, shipping weight may be greater than 8 ounces and I'll need to invoice you for the extra postage. Thanks. I wanted to offer the multiple stamp deal regardless.
