Materials tell time. Bronze develops patina; stone reveals tooling. Craft choices shape appearance and durability across seasons.
Craft Notes
- Lead joins: Maintain panel integrity.
- Chasing: Refines detail post‑casting.
- Stone dressing: Smooth vs. rough for light vs. texture.
| Material | Process | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | Patination | Color, protection |
| Stone | Dressing | Light, shadow |
| Lead | Joining | Stability |
