Clover Key


 The Clover Key was my first attempt at making a hollow stem key with a shape, other than round. Original keys of this type had a stem that was constructed from 1 piece. Unsure of how to approach this key, I devised a way to construct it in 5 pieces, with the stem being made from 4. The cannon (which the key fits inside) acts as the post which this key would rotate with inside of a lock.

This key was an exercise in exploring more complex key forms and an early practice of brazing.
