I wonder whether as a "metal bender" you're aware of the fact that some people can taste copper through their skin. Some classical guitarists can't play on copper strings because they will get a copper taste in their mouth and it's quite awful. I would never wear any copper myself for that reason. I does look awesome btw!
I wasn't aware of that - how interesting! I made this piece for myself, so it's only sealed with butcher's wax - if it were for sale I would probably seal it with lacquer which would likely prevent that problem. Thank you so much!
