Lauritta, I am not too

Lauritta,
I am not too sure what your capabilities are in regards to power tools and torches, but a warm tone can be achieved by applying a light layer of brass onto steel. This involves heating the metal to a low heat (200f-300f), then using either a brass-bristled hand brush or a brass wire-cup wheel on a grinder. The more you brush the more the brass is shown. Butane torches from Home Depot should supply enough heat for this process to work. I would advise trying a small scale sample using a hand brush.
