Hendrix, tell us how you did the DIY copper finish on that Wilky.  I didn't see it in your build post.
 
The checkered flag drops and they're off to a great start. :icon_thumright:
 
THat's quite a diverse stable of contestants so far.  Voting will be interesting, to say the least.

 
Bit of cognitive dissonance involved with first entry, being a "professionally finished" instrument...

I think we got a winner! Call Better Homes and Gardens!

Well, in fairness, it was a pro relic job.  As we must frequently note, relic finishes are a matter of taste and not necessarily indicative of pernicious ideology.
