    I wonder how many centuries you’d get to ride before it turned “Statue of Liberty Green”.

    Actually Scott’s bike won’t turn green, I cleared over the copper base finish to lock in the cool swirly marbled look and to keep it from rusting over time.

    It’s a gorgeous piece of work. I woudn’t know whether to ride it or hang it on the wall.

    I too, am a big fan of copper. That bike is just magnificent! Nice work Bob.
    As far as copper choppers go, I prefer the one that Jesse James built and rode to Copper Canyon, Mexico.

    Split the difference and make a 2001-esque trainer.

    Hey Todd,
    Here’s something else for your copper fetish:
    A copper computer.

    Cool. Maybe I should get some copper plates for my Shuttle.

    I love your ceiling - we are trying to decide how to design our copper ceiling in our kitchen - we are thinking of getting 12oz. 3′x10′ sheets and either putting them in as strips or cut into 3×3 squares and trimming the seams with Hickory strips - same wood as the cabinets are to be or if we want to get the pressed tiles - great photo

    I think 10′ strips would be unwieldy. This looks like the pace I got mine from: http://www.mbossinc.com/ but I’m not quite sure. I got mine from a local lumber store, but this is the place that has the patterns that look the same. MIne is classic style 0606

    I’m also got to be starting a K&B renovation here shortly and will be using the same pattern in the kitchen ceiling and as the backsplash.
