Copper Dining Table in the Making 2

Finished Table Top

“Beauty and the Beast” is a good description for this table top process. The copper sheet is shiny and smooth when Mike begins the table top creation, then:

Hand hammered copper

The copper is heated with fire, beat up with hammers and mallets until it is gnarly;

Hand Hammering Copper

Flattened and rolled until there is a finish that will suit a tabletop.

The outside pieces are cut and fitted;

The end result is a beautiful 8′ copper dining tabletop that is ready for service.

I can picture my clan gathered around that warm beautiful table but, alas, another gem goes out the door to someone else’s home. Anyone else want one? Just let Mike know :]

Made to order. Bases available.
