Leafy door handle


Recommended Posts

Made my first leaves today.

I used the 'cut the bar at an angle, then fuller down the stem' technique.

I applied the wax when the metal was hot this time. It went compeltely black and looked like it had been painted, so I rubbed it over with some sand paper to bring out some of the detail, then another coat of wax while still warm.

I think I probably went a bit over the top with the texturing, but as my first attempt at leaves I am really pleased with it them.

Now that is a fine looking door pull. I guess you only got one door though or are you still working on the rest of the hardware?:cool:


The only place I can think to put this one is on the outside of the back garden gate, If they wern't my first leaves I would risk it but people will steal anything for scrap round here.

It is only temporarily hung on the brickwork to give a different background in the photo, but I might do a version of the Hop Hook for this wall.

Cheers,
Bob
