Vance,
Not for investment castings, but for fine French sand castings, the
Auburn Stove Works of Gray, Maine do intricate French sand castings in
iron or steel. They are a business that makes replacement parts for
fancy old Victorian stoves, and are well used to making one off castings
from loose patterns. I have machined a pile of their castings for the
WW&F Railway Museum, here in Maine, and can attest to the fine quality
of their work. No blow holes or chilled spots in any casting I have
machined to date.
