Cast plaster hand mounted to wall holds item for display.

Step 5 The finished effect.

The finished effect is striking. We'd not seen it done elsewhere, and so wanted to share the idea with others.

Note that we've never removed the rake since putting this on the wall. If we did, I'm sure the rake would not be marred in any way. Also note that we have it in an area where it's never bumped or touched. Given that plaster is relatively soft, we assume that it wouldn't hold up to much use or abuse.

Good luck with your project.
