Bill,
The copper look is actually copper metalic paint with a wash of black water base paint. I used 3/4" pipe that I had a friend weld for me then I used utility cloth to build somewhat of a form around it using duct tape and plastic wrap then I poured it about a foot at a time with foam. After completing that I used Apoxie Sculpt to build the texture and some of the shape.

I couldn't complain about the 2nd considering the rush job I did to complete that mount, but I pulled a 2nd at the two previous shows also. I should be learning from one to the next but I manage to come up with new errors. You judged my 2001 mount and I think the two I brought in 2003 were judged by Carter, Cochran and You. One of them had the tape recorded critique. That was great but I don't think they did any of those this time around.

I'll try to get around to Emailing those pictures this week.
