Hydronic \"Book-Ends\"

These large brass impellers came off of some B&G circulators that had lived a full life of GPM production "with no complaints". I wanted them to live a awhile longer as something useful. I cut them in half, or as they say in the south, Cut'em half in two". (The largest impeller was from a series 1510 base-mounted. List price was $1850.00)
Took them to a powder coat facility, and mounted them on some simple wood patterns. I wish you could see the beauiful brass veins that churned out so much H2o. The powder coat kind of masks it in the picture.
I had three differeent impellers, so now, I am going to find a worthy home for one or two of them. Not pictured in these photo's is my lovely wife shaking her head "knowingly" in that I apparently have "issues".
I'm hoping my hydronic friends understand......
Also, I saved these JPEG's at 50% resolution so they won't take as long to load.

You are way ahead of me.
Clear coat is was my first choice, but I wanted to do something a little different on the 1st run. I'll tackle some more later this fall.
Hot Rod, I'd love to trade art work. Your projects are real eye-catchers. All I need is an address to UPS to.
