VERY well done finish! Getting a good aged crackle finish is not easy. The copper looks great with it.

PS: You beat me to it on the finish. ;)

Thanks for the info. Amazing job on those and the tom shell you posted pics of. Do you do this as a hobby only or will you do work for others? Reason I ask I'd love to do a old duco finish on some shells with the cracked finish someday. And that's some mighty fine work you do. :)

What a great look. Looks like something from Restoration Hardware, but real. Nice call!
