Oh wow…how on earth did you achieve that texture inside the knapping on the copper?!

Regardless of how it was done, very nice! 👍
 
Thank you very much

For the texture.
1. The knapping is a 1/2" wheel on the grinder that I take to 220 grit. Quite a few steps to get it right. I can make a post how its done on my forum if anyone wants to see how I do it.

2. First step for texrure is a round carbide burr on a dremel. Its the medium one cant remember the exact size. I put the dots everywhere but the ridges.

3. Treat the copper with liver of sulfer to blacken. This leaves dark areas in the recess.

4. All of the copper will be dark after the sulfer.

5. I use a small round burr to go back over it all. This leaves just a few dark receses and gives it the snake skin look.

6. Go back over the ridges with some 800 grit sandpaper to make them stand out and shine.
