Three Pieces in Copper

By , March 29, 2005 3:37 am

These are 3 pieces I am working on that are made out of hand hammered copper. The mushroom caps and the leaf are made from copper that I got from an old piece of 1 inch copper water pipe. I split it down one side and cut a section off. Heated it to soften it a bit and then used tin snips to get the general shape of the piece. Then out come the hammers, anvil and anything else that will work to beat and shape the metal on.

The stems are 3/8 copper water pipe that has been hammered on the sides, flared on the ends and then buffed before soldering to the cap.

I may do a photo layout of making some stuff if there is any interest.
