How did you repousse and chase it all so well? Did you use the pitch method? Did you have to heat it up?

I'm still using a medium green pitch, which works pretty good. The German red pitch is a good deal stiffer I'm told and helps get better detail.
I did use heat to warm up the pitch to apply it to the piece. But the steel I worked cold over the pitch bowl. It was only a 16ga mild steel so I was relying on the shapes to get the steel strength.
Did that answer your question?

This is awesome. I'm trying to figure out the 'how'

the how it was done. I love everything about working with metal and it's nice to find someone who still works with it on this level

Thanks very much! I still have a long way to go and am still learning with every piece.
