10 Point Buck
$1,500.00 – $2,800.00
Our buck steel sculptures capture the majesty of these male deer through specialized metal hardening techniques. I shape each individual buck, using extreme 1800°F controlled heat to permanently set shades of brown, tan, black and white within the steel itself without any coatings or paints.
Description
Our buck steel sculptures capture the majesty of these male deer through specialized metal hardening techniques. The design begins with an original hand drawn rendering of a buck with expansive antlers – grown and shed annually unlike permanently horned antelope. Details like the antler points, muscular shoulders, and alert pose are precision laser cut from durable 316L grade stainless steel which patinas a timeless gray over time.
I shape each individual buck, using extreme 1800°F controlled heat to permanently set shades of brown, tan, black and white within the steel itself without any coatings or paints. Just the natural patterns physics reveals within the molecular structure. No two are ever identical.
The sturdy 14 gauge finished sculpture gets fitted by hand with mounting brackets to perfectly balance your striking new addition for garden or frontier décor. Periodically check fittings on outdoor installations.
For unique wilderness or lodge style ambiance, these one-of-a-kind steel buck sculptures encapsulate the yearly renewal of antlers and dominate presence of mature males through rugged yet refined interpretations. Proudly Made in the USA.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Armando R. Hevia, a passionate artist and sport fisherman enthusiast, was born in Havana, Cuba, but moved to the U.S. as a young child. He has lived Orlando, Florida since 1972. Fortunately, Florida is a premier destination for fishing, and the open seas have given him a wide realm of both observation and discernment, fueling his creativity to replicate sea life in his own vision.
Armando has always loved to draw, and studied both Commercial Art and Welding at Mid-Florida Tech in Orlando. His welding knowledge prompted him to experiment with creating his first metal sculpture over 20 years ago. What began as a hobby has turned into much more, and he has methodically developed his stainless steel sculptures depicting sea life. All sculptures begin with a hand drawn design before the metal is cut to the proper specifications of each fish. He then grinds each piece to add depth and dimension into each piece. The array of colors is achieved by controlled heat, a process known as fire color. The colors are not painted on, but rather drawn out of the metal by different temperatures of heat. The colors are then embedded into the steel permanently. Each piece is original, and no two pieces are alike.
Armando not only has a passion for, but takes pride in each piece of art he creates. It is clear he has an innate, intuitive gift for art, and is willing and able to create anything the mind can imagine.
