Timber Beams | Decorative Brackets Part 3













Here I'm applying a patina to all the parts.



This is what the metal looks like before the patina.



This is what the metal looks like with the patina applied.



Each piece takes on a life of it's own. Isn't this just too cool?



I patinaed a test piece and had it clear powder coated to confirm the finish I had in mind.

Forging the vines.


Right vine forged first.


Then the left vine is forged.


Finally all the leaves are welded on the vines.


I really like this detail. Can you believe you can make red hot metal do this?
