Just finished up this little beauty today. She fought me tooth and nail and if something could go wrong, it did. Everything from equipment failure to flawed copper, it happened, lol. I'm never one to give up so l pushed through and got it done.
The customer stated they were partial to Ford Calypso Green Metallic (my phone makes it look bluish) and wanted something close. I said why not the real thing! I reached out to a buddy and got a couple ounces. I wet sanded between coats to ensure a smooth, glass like finish before adding 2 coats of clear. Handle is topped with a brushed copper ferrule and crowned with a 24mm badger boar mix from AP shave. Pics do not do it justice!
A big thank you to its owner for entrusting me to bring his vision to life. It was a pleasure and I hope you enjoy it!
