This is forge welded angle iron to form the flower petals. The piece hangs on the wall with a hidden connection. The whole thing can disassemble by removing one nut on the back.

This is my second attempt at making a forge welded angle iron flower. This is my favorite one. It mounts on the wall. The original idea came from seeing a piece of flattened angle in the scrap bin. The metal is flattened then folded in on itself then forge welded to make the taper. The other end is then made into a scarf for welding to the stem.
