Standing 12 feet tall and made of 1/4″ weathering steel, “Mascot” is a custom commemorative sculpture of an early stern-wheel driven steamboat that operated on the Lewis River at the turn of the century.
Our designer used old photographs of the “Mascot” as inspiration for the sculpture’s design. We cut a model on our Omax waterjet so that the project committee could see what the finished sculpture would look like. After completion we hauled the steamboat to the work site and installed it.
Although the steamboat was grey when installed, due to the nature of weathering steel when exposed to the elements, a protective layer of rust formed giving the sculpture its unique rusty look.
The “Mascot” public art sculpture was installed June 2009 at Hoffman Plaza in downtown Woodland, WA.
