Tornado Ring

I finally got around to making a tornado ring. All I had was some scrap copper, but it came out OK. I never actually drew it out, but in my mind this is sort of what it looked like.


It was pretty easy to fabricate, I cut a few strips of copper, rolled them through the mill, soldered the ends together, forged them around my rind mandrel and finally soldered them to a copper band. I did very little in the way of surface texture, about all I did was put a soft shine on the band.

I like how it came out, I think this is probably going to be a prototype. I have a few other ideas I would like to try on this pattern, patinas, wire instead of strips of sheet etc...
