We picked some pieces bronze as scrap planning to melt it down for some casting projects.  One afternoon we decided cut a slice off the end of one and made a bottle opener as a birthday present for a friend.  It is perfectly balanced to sit on top of a beer bottle and the soft bronze will develop a beautiful patina from use.  Everyone who used the prototype in our shop seemed to like it too.

So we gave it a name and made an edition of 50 because that's how much material we had left.

no. 1-10 are fully polished on the machined faces
no. 11-30 are raw "as-machined" finish
no 31-50 have an applied satin finish

If you'd like a particular number, let us know in the comments section of your order and its yours if we still haven't it.  We only have a handful of these left, so if we don't have the number you want, you'll have to be happy with whatever number you get.

And we still ended up with a decent bucket of swarf and chips to melt down for casting projects.
