    The surface finish is crap, and the filler sprue is blocked. This meant that the wax had to form a void somewhere as it cooled/contracted. The small hole near the centre of the cast is a void, and after some fiddly mass/density calculations, I reckon that the void might be almost 10% of the total volume. Impossible to tell without cutting it open, though
