    Hi, I would like to know, how casting shops prefer to get their
    orders 

	one wax
	a metal original
	waxes already on a tree

    the reason I ask, is I ***STINK*** at wax carving. Green sheet wax
    keeps pulling out of shape and purple blocks keep breaking...and
    they're not wide enough. I could cut and fabricate a less detailed
    metal original fairly easily, but would hate to bug a shop just to
    cast it, to shoot a mold, so I can have a wax model to carve the
    detail on it, to then (hopefully produce the things) it just seems to
    me, like I'm missing something.... 

    Sparrow, who shouldn't be awake and thinking of business at this
    hour
