I worked about 18 hours this weekend on this thing. Mainly testing different patinas on copper and finishing the doors.
The doors look pretty good. I veneered copper sheets to plywood which will fit in the door.

This isnt a very good picture, but you can get an idea of what the patina will look like:

I also made the handles myself out of ebony. Hopefully they wont crack when I drill and tap a screw into them. They are pretty thin.

My wife painted the back of the tank, the picture doesnt really do it justice. The camera made the colors a lot brighter than they will actually be.
