I believe www.classicmarine.co.uk offer such a service but I'm not sure if they have their own foundry or put the work out.

Wessex Castings in Southampton have done a lot of boat stuff in bronze.

Isnt it just a case of making a sand box, filling it with casting sand around a pattern, (removing it) and then filling the whole thing up with bronze? I guess the bronze mix is a bit technical but the rest should be simple? plenty of personal protection reccomended and a bit of nouse! loads of books on the subject of casting.

This mob should be able to do it. I am about to give them a go. I don't know how their prices run yet...
