selling This Motorcycle Engine necklace is probably one of the most intricate and detailed pieces of jewelry I've made - it's an exact replica of a 1940's Panhead engine from Harley Davidson. All the components of the engine are there - the carburetor (and its float bowl) looks incredible, the cooling fins on the cylinders are all finely detailed as are the exhaust and intake manifolds. We even managed to get the tiny bolts holding the engine housing in there too. It's pretty detailed.
This piece is a bit of a departure for me and I can't claim too many of the design props for this one - those I happily pass on to Harley, and Mike with his CAD skills. The wax was then carved by a special machine, in 10 micron (that's very small) passes at a time. It took about 10 hours to complete the carving, and the results are mighty impressive.
Once cast in the finest white bronze, the engine is then silver plated, and had to be polished very carefully so as not to damage any of those fine details. Finally the engine was given an aged look to really bring out all those fantastic details.
The engine measures 1 1/4" (32mm) high (not including the jump ring) by just over 1" (29mm) across the cylinders.
The panhead comes on your choice of chain or leather - all leather necklaces are adjustable and come with our signature Lost Apostle clasp (shown in the last photo).
It worked for the guys in Easy Rider, now it's your turn. Saddle up.
