Copper Bar Counter Top

New Custom Copper Bar top made from 1/8" thick Owner supplied Copper Sheet (The Metal had Family "History"). The Custom made Rivets are approx 4" apart and are 3/4" in diameter. The Finish is a custom patina and"Hot Wax". The bottom Image is of some Custom Tiles made from some of the "Drops".

Steel Sculpture Model

When building the Entry Sculptures, we had to make "Wire Frame Models". A lot of effort went into making the models. They were used to create the paper templates needed to cut the Stainless Steel body parts. The owners had the clever idea to reuse them and make useful! We just made some simple logo's and nifty new steel bases and Wala!

Much Thanks to all that helped with this especially Eric @ Flat Rock Productions - His concept and follow trough was amazing!
