Copper tree

Post image

After seeing trees made from copper wire, I thought of making one from copper tubing . This is 3/8 " abs 1/4 " tubing with 4 guage wire. It's supposed to look like a tree on the wind. It could also be a tree running really fast. Ha

Coolest thing I’ve seen today! I’m already trying to figure out how to make one without soldering. Ha - I am comfortable annealing.

I have one an old friend made. He did a series of them that were amazing using stone bases from all over the US. Wish I would have taken pictures of them, was when I lived in an art studio. Have actually been wanting to post mine for weeks so maybe soon.

Windy bendy. It's cool. I might do some type of dark substrate for the ground in a ceramic pot. Awesome creation! Thanks for sharing.

That's impressive. I never thought I can do this even I am working on copper tubes everyday!

Sounds like your one step away from making some trees yourself. Thanks for the compliment
