Stuff I do

[JoeKing]

I mainly work in copper. The ladle is about 3 inches across. The handle is scrap wire I got from my nephew who works at a mill.

Cool How did you fasten the wire handle to the Ladle ? silver solder or such braze is a bit hard (higher MP than copper )

Made a bowl for the ladle. Now just figure out how to wrap it without my wife noticing it gone.

did you choose copper because its a just a medium you like ?...or is it a traditional thing in your area that has always been used

[JoeKing]

I got started with copper when I needed a gift for a Chief in Canada. Traditional the copper showed great wealth, so a great chief would have a copper shield. I ended up making him a "copper" to honor him and show him who I am.

It kinda grew from there when I found a supply I could buy in bulk. I just love the feel of it.
