Copper Finial Refinishing Project

Through six layers of old paint I sanded, scraped and rotary wire-brushed this piece back to it's original sheen.  I went through the light green to a gold to dark brown to dark green to white and gray.  Underneath lay copper, brilliant, shiny, beautiful copper.  I decided to keep some of the old paint on near the edges to show it's history and maintain its old look.

All complete!
