Hello steemit. Todays post will feature the ever popular Sanchez Snake, created by you tubes Christopher Sanchez.
As you may know, I am a hardcore collector of community hand poured silver. I needed something from Chris, and one day a couple years ago I saw him cast this snake, and I knew I had to have it!
This is snake #1, weighing in at exactly 1oz. Has some flashing on it, but he didn't want to clean it out due to it losing weight in the process.
He mounts them on a slice of wood
And uses the sprue and the vent lines to mount them onto the wood
The bottom of the wood is plain, being #1. He now signs and numbers them, and puts on a few non slip thingys.
I have displayed mine for a couple years now, and is getting a nice golden tone to it. I keep mine in the kitchen window sill. None of these pictures show the toning very well, but to the naked eye it is spectacular!
@theb3ar has #2, and @mikegpo got #3, heck, we all have one, and we keep showing them during live chats, making them more popular and sought after by many people! Chris has made alot of them now! Hes in the upper 20's I think! He can barely keep up with all the orders π That's a good problem to have π
There you have it folks! The beautiful Sanchez Snake! π
I hope you enjoyed, and I'll see y'all next time! π

Nice post @silvervessel
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I love the Sanchez Snake! So after you got #1, I said to myself, "okay... that does it, I guess I won't get a Sanchez Snake" (Sometimes I am just weird that way!). But my gosh, it fast became his iconic pour. I just had to have one before his toy mold breaks! I am so glad and happy to have #20. I have a piece of his early pours before he changed channels... an alien. I like that he designed and crafted the mold himself.
Yes! I remember the alien head very well! I think the first time I saw it was in your video! π Very cool vintage piece! Sorry I got #1 snake π I had no idea you were after it. I'm happy you got one at least! π Thanks so much my SSFL ππ Talk soon!
This snake is wicked cool. I love the idea. The wood base sets the mood of combining the silver with the wood and the snake in the woods.
Creativity beyond boundaries.
Well said my friend! I think that is why they are so popular! Very unique show pieces π
Q: What did the Sanchez Snake say to the piece of wood?
A: Sprue you, I got your log right here!
ππππ Thanks for the smiles bud!
I love my Sanchez snake too. Lucky number 9 for me. ππ
Wanna trade? ππππ Kidding of course. Thanks Ma!
