September 10, 201015 yr Author this is my favorit copper bowl so far it was ordered by another local artist. has about a three and a half inch depth wide bottom with stepper sides. was made from 3/16 copper. it is 12-1/2 inch diameter and HEAVY
September 10, 201015 yr Nice job. How thick is the copper you are working with? Whoops - just read the 3/16th portion
September 10, 201015 yr Three-sixteenth copper! Dang that's some heavy duty copper bowls, I think that I'm a doing something proud when I work with 22 gage for a simple cup. Nice looking work. :blink:
September 13, 201015 yr Author the copper is 3/16. i love to work heavy you get textures you cant get out of thinner materials and you can take what you are making much further into a negative space. My customers like it to they look at the price and cringe but then handle to piece and usually go " holy xxxx no wonder it is that much"
November 7, 201015 yr Very nice pieces! I'd love to see what tools you use and how you work your copper.
November 9, 201015 yr I love the bowls. It looks like you let the copper tarnish then polish the high spots. Do you put any clear coat on it to preserve the finish or do you let it continue to tarnish. If no clear coat, what does it look like after it continues to tarnish? Does it continue to keep its depth?
November 9, 201015 yr Right on,Kburd,wonderful stuff!Really neat work,and a very valid point about the weight. I went to visit this German smith who was visiting here,and there was this picture frame that he made.At first it didn't impress me that much.But then someone took it off the wall and handed it to me...I was instantly in love,the stinking thing was about 40#!Felt great,didn't want to put it down... :P
November 13, 201015 yr Beautiful work. I have done very little copper work, but would like to try more. This bowl has inspired me. Thank you for sharing.
