Troutdale sculptor Rip Caswell has been commission by the Naval Order of the U.S. to make a bronze statue of Admiral Chester Nimitz.  The statue will be located at the entrance to the Battleship Missouri Memorial at Pearl Harbor.  Caswell is currently finishing the statue in clay.  A wax mold will be made from the clay and the bronze will be poured into the wax mold.  You can watch the process at Caswell's studio in Troutdale.
