Everything about this is recycled…the heavy gauge steel (even though I’m not real sure what that is) was somehow cut into the shape of a bass, I’m impressed (again no idea how that happens either) and even the rope to hang it is recycled (when bb wasn’t looking I took it off some of her packages from Etsy shhh). I weighed it, the postal scale which is accurate, say, 7 out of 10 times, says it weighs 2-ounces, not much for a Bass but a bunch for an ornament, fish or other animal wise.
