Project Information

Not really sure what name to give this. Anyway just finished this vase which stands 9" tall the bottom is maple and covered with chemically treated brass sheets and the top I believe is Laburnum.
It did start out as being a vase but I had ideas for different decoration then I got the brass sheets to add to my it will be ideal for a future project pile I decided when it arrived to go with this instead.

I like this a lot. It is quality.

I am curious how you covered the maple with brass.
Is it very thin leaf sheet , or did you have to hammer-peen it, or .. something else ?
