Hi Sculptors, FREE forms: Tube forms that are 14-inches wide and 6 inches tall.

A year ago I found two 8-foot long 14-inch diameter cardboard concrete-pouring tubes for free. Then I bought a small circular saw, and cut the tubes into 6-inch lengths. My plan was to build a large sculpture with paper mache, made with concrete (or who knows what), similar to previous ring sculptures I’d made with clay. (See example.)

I packed the rings into big garbage bags and put them in our camper for storage. Then my direction changed (you know how that is), and my temporary abandonment of the project has turned into a permanent abandonment. So 4 large garbage bags packed with 6-inch tall heavy cardboard tubes that are 14-inches across are up for grabs. I’ll keep the 2 large leftover pieces in the photos, but they show you the size.

Come get one tube piece, or all of them. They have to go ASAP. They would make a good mold for pouring concrete disks for the weighted bottoms of garden totem stakes. Or make your own ring sculpture (see example prototype). I am listing these for free on multiple platforms, so please respond soon if you want any.
