Awesome!, sure hope you have a good watch dog.
Back in 06'-07' when I worked in construction they were ripping A/C units from houses for the copper. They ripped two at once off a two story, chained them up and away they went, it ripped everything off the side of the house with it. Thank goodness that oven is heavy.

Let's see, I have cousins of my UT San Maranzos in Miss, Colorado, So. Carolina, CA, LA. and who knows where those next generations have ended up............

Texas, Penn, and FLA, with more going out to FLA, VA & Oregon.

Impressive finish Russ, very masterfully done!

Thanks guys, now it is time to polish the cooking skills.

BTW, I am harvesting my heirloom San Maranzo seeds right now and if anyone wants some give me a shout.

Russell awesome job on the copper. Armor fit for a "KING"

Yes polishing the cooking skills, looking forward to your creation!

I would like to get in on the popular heirlooms. I'll send you my address.
My herbs seem to be doing good. I can spout some heirlooms along with them. I may need some pointers on the mators as they get big. I always seem to lose to the bugs.

Russel,
We would love some of your seeds. Southern Illinois could sure use some good SM plants...especially in our garden. Our supposed SM plants were a fake. Nothing more than just roma tomatoes. Would you be interested in sharing some seeds with us?

thanks...jon

Great looking design! Can't wait to see the finished work!

I got the heirloom seeds......Thanks a bunch .......I think it's a little late to start a fall planting of the tomatoes here in Florida, but I think I will geminate one or two seeds and gain a little experience for the spring.

Re: Wood Fired Beehive in Utah

I completed the stamping on the copper chimney sleeve, only thing left is I have to anneal the copper with all the pinging it really stiffened the copper so it does not want to bend. I am going to use an oxygen/acetylene torch tomorrow and anneal the copper then form it to fit the chimney.

That should bring out some amazing colors!
Looks Great, Russell .

Re: Wood Fired Beehive in Utah

Probably my last copper post. I annealed the copper, formed and slipped over SS chimney. The annealing brought out a host of colors like Gulf said it would. Having a family pizza party this weekend to celebrate.
