As I said......
The above chime is a proto-type. Hubby has never made one and is quite excited to hear them in the autumn wind! And even before this one is finished.....he has another in mind. He brought me this object.....which he found in our old barn.......and he wants to use it as the clapper for the next wind shime (bigger pipes....and just an all around bigger chime). My first question was, "What is it"? He didn't know. It is really heavy (bout 2-3 lbs.) and reminds me of a cannonball from the civil war! But....it has this hole through it and would make for a pretty shitty cannonball....doncha think? He thinks it came from a bell...an actual clapper from a big bell! But....I would love to hear any thoughts or opinions or actual facts.....if you get the notion!
