Cold Cast Iron Real Rust Skull Ouija Board Bat Planchette

I had so much fun making this Skull shaped Ouija Board + Bat Planchette Set. Created out of Cold Cast Iron and treated with the real chemicals needed to create actual rust, highlighted as I saw fit with gold paint before being sealed. This is not a faux finish.

I do all I can do to have each piece as perfectly level as possible, but that's very difficult. I live in a house that is 116 years old and I only have vision in one eye. I use a level and put books under table legs and assorted other wackiness, but please just know going in that pieces such as this will never be perfect. They reflect me and my wonderfully crooked antique house! You are buying the item pictured. Please enlarge.

The board measures approximately 7 and 3/4" × 5" × 1" thick. The planchette measures 3" × 2 and 5/8" × 1/8" thick.

"Cold-Casting" is a term used to describe the process of mixing powder with a resin and applying the mixture into a mold. For this piece, I used real iron powder. For others I use copper, porcelain.. even ground pecan shells. Though much lighter, the finished casting gives the appearance of solid metal. This process is more accessible for a person such as myself who makes a great many varied things.
