Great work, and QuiQue took the words right out of my computer's mouth (or keyboard). How many times did you re-anneal that to get that depth ! Rick Crawford at Smoky Forge » login to post comments ![]() Copper repousse cross

Walker, I really like your repousse cross. What are the dimensions & how do you intend to display it? Peggy » login to post comments ![]() cross

Thanks for all the nice comments. It's about 5"x5". Small enough to fit into my 8" pitch bowl. I probably had seven or eight annealings. Didn't actually count them when I was doing it but that's probably pretty close. To get the depth, I would work the flat areas around the cross pushing more metal toward the cross, then anneal flip it and take that metal and push out for the depth. I was a little worried about punching through but I was able to keep it thick enough that that was not an issue. Walker » login to post comments |

Amazing depth on your cross!
Amazing depth on your cross! Could you explain how many heat annealing you had to do to get the depth?
