the steel will have a blackened patina and a matte sheen clear finish
next up, a dough bowl sink. the clients came to us with this antique dough bowl which is a totally handmade, irregular, antique object. i made a wood mockup and fitted the sink to it. sam then crafted the actual metal base by matching the steel angles and lengths to the wood mockup.
