Summary

A short artisan project created by Grant Takara under the brand, Meijiro Design. (Grant is also known as Gtscientific LLC).



These are machined on my 5 axis CNC machine from billet bronze alloy. They are then hand sanded, blasted, treated with an serial acid wash to produce an accelerated patina, and then stone washed for a high contrast weathered finish. Dice will look very close but obviously not exactly like the photos due to the variegated nature/unpredictability of the wash. 
Pips will have some variability in terms of matte/gloss due to the nature of the acid wash

Dimensions

These are the same size as your standard Monopoly set of dice (5/8" or 16mm).
Mass: 2oz [56g].
