All of the components are chisel-cut. All of the joinery is either
tenon or rivet.
The materials are mild steel - forge textured, bronze and monel flowers
and sheet mica (backing the repousse' light).
All are finished with 80 grit sand paper and coated with linseed
oil/turpentine mix and then paste waxed (3 coats over several days).
