I'm about to drop off my SR1911 to have it done in burnt bronze

Glad you like it.
They're right though... I'm not doing it anymore. I really enjoyed it, and I loved seeing the finished product and trying new things, but in all honesty, I was young and dumb and seldom used a respirator. Totally, 100% my own stupid move... but the last couple of years, the fumes just get to me too much.
I'll occasionally do one for a close friend, but that's it.
I finally though, after doing so many for other people, did one of my own.
That's a year and a half, maybe two years old by now.
I do miss it though, and one day, I might get back around to it, albeit with a little more caution.
I'm honored for the kind words though!
