Hello Russell. Try Alpha Knife Supply in Washington. They usually have some. Atlas does have it, but you have to buy larger quantities.

Thanks, Brion,

Merry Christmas!

Casting supply companies carry it. It works well for casting 'casue you don't lose tin and need to readjust the blend over time. Budget Casting Supply at http://www.budgetcastingsupply.com/Metals.php is where I get it. You can also find it at Jewelry supplies like Contenti etc. Trade name is Everdur or Alloy C873.

It does require other patinas from standard bronzes, fyi.

Silicon bronze seems to be the preferred bronze for monumental bronze sculpture. As has been mentioned, Atlas Metals is the go to place for many folks. (The UH art department turned me onto them.) They have it all shapes and sizes.

Your better bet though is likely, as Brion mentioned, Alpha Knife Supply listing of misc metals. Sure looks like they have what would likely meet your needs!

I've had some success finding stuff via eBay's Metals & Alloys category, but you have to be patient. (I've set up a search that will notify me via email whenever any silicon bronze gets listed there.)

Thanks, Phil,

It is good to hear from you!

We had a blizzard here in Southern Illinois with high winds and about 18" of snow, with drifts. Snow isn't as much fun as I remember it as a kid.

There is an old saying here in Illinois that goes like this. If you don't like the weather just wait a day or two, it will change.

Thanks Again!

Hey Russell! I didn't realize that was you. It's been a while since we met at the hammer-in in Maine. I have been hearing about the nasty weather y'all have been having. Take it easy and stay warm!!!

Here is a source for sheet stock.
