Harris County courthouse corbel



Here is the corbel we were directed by the architect to remove and use to make a mold from. I removed it from the wall and shipped it to our shop in Lubbock Texas.


They documented all the inconsistencies in the piece. I documented some of them here. They did a much more detailed documentation using square lines and every object was measured off of these square lines but that documentation photo did not transfer well into this format. The reason for this documentation is to inform all parties involved what they are going to receive after we make a mold of the piece. Every inconsistency will be a part of the new cast that we will reproduce. It is somewhat normal for there to be some inconsistencies and most people will never notice them. The rubber alone for the mold is expensive so we want everybody to understand what we are copying before we spend the money to make the mold.


After we get the go ahead for the architect we will proceed with the mold making process.
