This is one of my latest turning and kind of like the title indicates is an experiment. The original alchemists were trying to turn base metals into gold. Well, what I tried to do was turn a piece of wood into a base metal. The wood is a piece of tulip poplar that has been treated with some copper paint and then sprayed with a solution to create an aged patina on the copper. (I used the Modern Masters products from Craft Supply.) The line between the two surfaces was burned in. My thought on this was that to change the wood to metal would require a tremendous amount of heat and thus would burn the wood. The bowl is 8 7/8"W x 5 7/8"H. C&C Welcomed.
