Yeah, the copper was new. I sanded it with 220 then cleaned it with laquer thinner. To get the colors I used a few Citric Acid, Vinegar, and Gun bluing, and also screwed around a bit with a torch. Fun project.
Hi there! Late to the game, but hoping you can answer me...I love the piece and was thinking of offering similar to a client, but wanted to check the details first. It appears you didn't "balance" the panels with a like metal on the interior. Over time, did you have any warping issues, or did you deal with it in some other fashion? Thanks, and again, beautiful work!
