I just thought I would share my latest attempt at a copper rose. I know it does not look exactly like a rose but people seem to love them because they are selling great. let me know what you think. oh yea I am only 22 and have been building copper lanterns and any thing bass pro wants out of metal for 4 years.

Made this rose using only a torch pair of pliers and tin snips.Copper rose: Made this rose using only a torch pair of pliers and tin snips.

I love this peice, if at first glance you can tell what it is then you have succeded. After all it is what it is - a copper rose. If you wanted something that looks exactly like a rose........ plant a bush :-)

The Rose

I really like your work. It looks like a rose to me. Roses are imperfect and a-symetrical anyways and I think you captured it brilliantly.
I am going to try my hand at something like this.

Hey dirtking,
Yep surprising how easy it is to make a rose. When I first started making mine some 30 plus years ago all I used was a torch and pair of pliers. I just used an O/A torch and set the flame right to cut out the petals. Gave a different kind of organic rustic look. But no matter how you make them people always love them.
