We are always excited to begin something new and different for you . Each weathervane is raised from a flat sheet of copper or brass and hammered to shape using chasing and repousse techniques. We use only a Silver Solder Composite on all of our joinery which is a superior solder to others on the market, such as lead, tin etc. We specialize in incorporating copper, stainless steel, brass, gilded accents, and patinas in many of our weathervanes highlighting their individual features and characteristics, thus creating a truly unique weathervane. Copper and brass are rich in color and exude warmth when polished to a high-gloss finish.
All edges are then machine-softened.
For those who prefer their weathervane to keep its copper color, character and shine, we offer a top-coat lacquered finish. Often times when adding volume to a weathervane it is necessary to build-in additional copper to render a fuller body appearance. Our technique leaves a clean seam, free of exposed excess solder which makes for a more appealing appearance for both indoor and outdoor display. This technique requires more time to complete but the end result is a much finer weathervane sculpture.
