Klaas remmen Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the replies. @hogan, how do you mean finished? I Made the leaves by hammering with a very pointy hammer. The color is simply from the final treatment, I heat it to a heat when beeswax melts very fast and let a little beeswax melt over it, most of it burns away but a little thin layer stays. This way the iron is very well protected, more than you'd think. make sure you don't melt too much though, then it becomes sticky.
