I like the contrast and look of the bronze as well.
If you do any more in the future, have you thought about doing some of the welds from the back so there are no beads visible from front?

Mahalo Dave. Await'n some EPI Insta-Blak 333 to black oxide The Fish for added contrast.Originally Posted by smilindave
Ha! Yeah brah, she's a mean mean steeler. Mahalo.
BZ back at'cha brah. Nice to see you surface from da woods. Aloha.
Thx bro. We actually prefer to highlight more braze line on the FRONT with copper silicon filler. In fact, the next item we will ensure that all of the set "tacks" are subsumed by the braze for a cleaner look.
Yes. Capt Quinn has been tell'n us this for quite some time. Mahalo Dave.I like this a lot

Glad you like the piece. Aloha.

I just saw you were going to add Insta Black. I think that and the filler will be a nice contrast to the base.
What else are you going to apply if anything to protect it from rusting?
How durable/resistant to scratching is the Insta Black to any items being placed on it?

@ psacustomcreations - the key is Sealing. We are targeting E-Tec 522, as the assembly will be for indoor use.
