thanks. I use repousse tools to do the vaning[link] ...working on both sides of the leaves. I see you have some forging experience, so you would know how to create the branch. The copper leaves are brazed onto the steel branch.

Yeah, I've done a little forging, wish I could do more. It was the copper leaves brazed onto the branch that was stumping me so much. I couldn't wrap my head around how you were getting steel that color. Sometimes I have such tunnel vision. Once again, absolutely beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.
