Hello all,
I have a human sculpture commission enquiry where I've worked out that the best material to use is 3mm annealed black wire...or at least I expect it is.
The area that is going to have the tightest radius is the wrist, will I be able to wind it around cold, easily?
I found a bit of 4mm bar in the workshop today & that would be a nightmare. But it wasn't annealed bar. How much of a difference does the annealing make?
Also, the price difference seems a tad bizarre, is there something I don't know about black annealed wire? Is there different grades of it?
Cheers
