Copper is Copper

  

Copper Fire Pit Cover

Last week I stepped out of my comfort zone and took a commission for this fire pit cover.  The pure straight lines of the folded seams would show any deflection as a glaring mistake.  This is a good reason to continue making freehand sculptures.  There are no straight lines on a heron.

                                                                                                                                                             








Here is a constuction photo showing the plywood disk that is use in the building process.  Without this plywood the finished cover might not be round.  A hand-twisted copper handle.
Basically copper work is copper work, its either mechanical or freehand.
