If you look closely, you can see that there are 2 different textures hammered into the cuff - one on either side of the fold.
With the help of my Sharpie, my paper template, and my vise, I got it right the first time - yay!
The folds are flattened down at the ends of the cuff, so the cuff is more comfortable when worn.
I achieved the beautiful patina through a combination of Liver of Sulfur, buffing with steel wool, and a very long time in the tumbler (about 4 hours).

That is beautiful - love the finish and the foldforming is great
Simply stunning!
Beautiful! Fold forming is so rewarding, I have to remember to do some more of them myself :)
Beautiful! Fantastic shine, too. Did you seal the copper?
I did not seal the copper - I am not big on sealing. In my (limited) experience, when I tumble them for a prolonged period, they have been retaining their finish.
