Max Lamb's pewter stool is cast from a formwork of wet sand on the beaches of Cornwall, England. After digging the three legs and hexagonal structure plate into the sand, he poured molten pewter into the mold cavity, and when it set, dug out the stool. (This process is beautifully documented on video.) Photo 3 of 9 in Mold It, Cast It by Tiffany Chu
