The
realizations
of Eric in Angoulême, in Charente (16),
south of France.

Eric
is in
a very active phase of tests. He
has many ideas of achievements with reconstituted stone, in interior
decoration and exterior architecture. He develops many types of
molds that will allow him to move to the concrete realization
of his projects.
Here some results of his tests: A
metal tube cut in the
length is used to make elements of pilaster which will be stuck on a
wall, in interior decoration:
  A prototype of mould for the
realization of reconstituted stone pilaster (photographs and
realization Eric L.)
The same
principle, with two
half-tubes joined, allows to make small diameter columns :  An element of small diameter
column, out of reconstituted stone (photographs and realization Eric L.)
To
cast large diameter
columns, Eric
developed this first mould by using an "isorel" board. He has some
ideas to improve it:     A prototype of mould for the
cast of a large diameter column out of reconstituted stone (photographs
and realization Eric L.)
How to cast
decorative
elements for
facing and walling, having curve forms? Eric imagined for that a moulds
with metal sheets, folded to obtain the desired forms:
    A test prototype for the
realization of cast stone decorative elements for a wall (photographs
and realization Eric L.)
Eric
also built the molds for pillar which plans are available on this site.
He made with these molds this gate pillar and these copings for garden
wall:
The technique of the wooden molds with mouldings does not have any more secrecy for Eric:     Profiled columns and cyma
with mouldings (photographs and realization Eric L.)
How to make
small cornices for columns…  Eric uses thoroughly the
possibilities
of the wooden moulding, here, with assemblies of mouldings rods and
beadings.
(photographs and realization Eric L.) Balusters
in genuine reconstituted limestone, instead of the conventional white
concrete. Of course the finishing requires more effort, but it is much
more beautiful…
  To cast these balusters,
Eric uses
special plastic moulds. Addresses are given on the site. (photographs
and realization Eric L.)
