dirtvictim Posted October 19, 2017 Report Posted October 19, 2017 Stephen has a nice project going on and it gave me incentive to make a couple seppa for a gunto I posted questions about. The tsuba and seppa were loose and I thought why not destroy a perfectly good sterling silver bowl since I had no brass. Cut out was simple, I did a random hammer finish, knurled the edge and gave it an aged patina. Good snug fit now. Quote
Carlo Giuseppe Tacchini Posted October 19, 2017 Report Posted October 19, 2017 Why destroy such a nice bowl ? No silver coins available ? Here in Italy a couple sterling silver 500 lire coins goes for a bunch of euro and working it on the hammer is fun... 2 Quote

You got a lot of seppa on ebay when you look around. Btw your work looks nice. Best Chris I looked the piece up, it only had Silver value. Thanks Why destroy such a nice bowl ? No silver coins available ? Here in Italy a couple sterling silver 500 lire coins goes for a bunch of euro and working it on the hammer is fun... I have coins but they always have more value than scrap silver, I have pounds of this scrap sterling I use on random projects, eventually I will smelt it all down. Quote
