“Sunnyside Up” Raw Metal, front half. ~ Step Ten: The METAL CHASE. Photo Two ~ Person Ten: The METAL CHASER
Note the V-shaped vent on the lower edge of the ear. This vent allows air to escape from the shell into the vent so that bronze pours into all portions of the ear. The reason for a vent is it is easier to cut off and repair a small vent area than to rebuild and retexture an ear that has not fully poured.
