Corrugated Naturally<\/h2>\n

No wonder I love corrugated metal so much. Look at those rocks in the distance . . . they’re corrugated naturally! God made them that way. They’re reflections of the old tin roof on Grandpa’s ranch and the siding of barns. They draw the traveller of spectacular open spaces.<\/p>\n

We travel this open space, Snow Canyon State Park often. It’s only a few blocks from our front door, and this time of year is so invigorating for a morning walk between those big red walls.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite ways Mike used his hand-corrugated copper was in the wine rack I wrote about here<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Corrugated copper makes a distinct personal design statement when it’s used in furninshings and fixtures, like the service desk Mike Built for\u00a0our showroom. It makes a great barfront in the kitchen too. Scuffs from little feet only add to the character as time goes on. (Wondering what durable materials to use when living with children?)<\/em>\u00a0Copper does its own healing and changing to a rich warm patina with time. I shared some examples at “<\/span>Copper in the Real World<\/a>\u00a0“<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Corrugated metal makes a classic light fixture too. The following\u00a0comment from a client\u00a0in Maryland, with a\u00a0custom\u00a0order for corrugated steel lights, is a great example:<\/p>\n

“We worked with Mike and Julie to create sconces using siding from our new home. The lights came out beautifully. Our architect thinks they are inspiring. . .\u00a0Many thanks.” <\/a>(Soundtraveler in Maryland)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve said it so often and it really is true – Copper is timeless in beauty and style.<\/p>\n
