What a great idea!

I'm using the copper wire I dug up on the beach for a custom border. Very time consuming but relaxing. It will get a light stain and polyurethane clear coat for finishing touch.

It looks great! I too mess around with wood working and piddling. Just curious on what epoxy or glue did you use? I'm sure almost any adhesive would work. I really like the copper pieces inlaid! Gives it a native look to me. I like the way copper looks all cleaned up
