After seeing the unique copper faucets for the sink and shower from Sonoma Forge in the last post and taking cues from the exposed copper plumbing throughout the Lodge I thought that I had zeroed in on what I would use for the new bath. The Sonoma Forge faucets were indeed beautiful for this application but the cost was prohibitive. I didn’t see any reason why I couldn’t make my own.
Granted mine would not be as refined nor finished but that was OK with me. Mine would probably end up looking a bit more raw but that was part of the fun. After all I did want something a bit fun, whimsical and rustic.

Since I had finished up on hanging the lights. I could turn my attention to preparing the custom copper sink. I had looked around for an appropriate sink for the main part of the bathroom and had considered using a boulder that had been honed out however I didn’t find that which I sought.
The boulders, although handsome were either not deep enough or were of a diameter that was too wide for the space. I did however make note of them as I would like to possibly use them on the next bathroom project.
I turned my attention to a collection of copper and bronze sinks that were hand hammered in appearance. I found the sinks attractive and they would certainly fit in with the rest of the bathroom however they too had a diameter greater than what I could use or they were too manufactured.
