Nicely done! Can't wait till summer so I can do more wood pours! I did a heart in 14k gold last year, was tricky getting the shape right cause it burned a bunch. I ended up carving the burned mould deeper and it worked OK.

Thanks @fat-elvis. Winter is the best time to pour as it keeps you warm. LOL. That is the problem I'm having too. I tried to pour into it a couple times, then make it deeper. It seems to lose the detail after that and just gets weird looking. I need more practice.

I dug it deeper with my carving tools and it worked out alright. but yeah, it burns away detail
Nice! I do remember this. Maybe what inspired to try pouring one. Yours looks way better than mine.
