Double Y Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Nice job. How thick is the copper you are working with? Whoops - just read the 3/16th portion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kburd Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 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" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill in Oregon Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Very nice pieces! I'd love to see what tools you use and how you work your copper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake pogrebinsky Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyGeorge Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Beautiful work. I have done very little copper work, but would like to try more. This bowl has inspired me. Thank you for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
