This private patio fountain was designed to be very quiet, a welcome participant of patio dinner parties in a city environment. The large benches on each end have lift-off tops, and contain the hardware for the fountain. Since this photo the basin has been lined in copper, a much better and time-proven material in a fountain setting.
After I had carved thye basin, i had it filled with water, and adjusted the flutes one at a time to spill equally.
