WHEN you do another one, (it's inevitable) you might consider using mild steel for the collar and butt, and get it all nice and dark.
Super nice, flowing design. I'm envious :)

What a smooth piece D.Franco, super nice!

Lorien - When it comes to using bronze, copper and brass, I like to think that it will darken and patina gradually, and picture what it will become as its beauty grows into something that only time can make! :D
 
unless that brass goes black, I stand by my assessment!
 
I love the patina bronze develops.
As far as brass, lightly buff it and it's brand new and shiny again.
