Tom Torrens Wall Gong
Tom Torrens Wall Gongs are formed and welded from recycled and industrial materials. They will age naturally, or you can preserve their current patina with an annual coat of clear varnish.
This Wall Gong is one of the most popular pieces that Tom Torrens produces for the Phoenix Shop. It includes the attached wooden hammer and the wall mount.
