Bronze Peace Pole
Click photos to enlarge
This is the same as my five-sided copper peace pole,
but made of bronze. The chief difference between this and copper is the way this
blends into the environment. On the bronze, as you can see in these photos, the
patina is more green and brown, colors that blend into the environment. On the
copper, shown on other pages, it is more blue with underlying reds, colors that
stand out.
The letters on the bronze poles have more of a gold color. On the copper peace pole there is more red in them. These are the natural colors of the metal.
This is a true bronze. It is an alloy called Naval Brass. It was developed long ago to survive the harshest environments. You can refer to it either as bronze or brass.
The photo at right reflects a sunset in the letters. The photo below was taken on a cloudy, winter day.
Copper
is less expensive and makes brighter letters that stand out more, but bronze has other charms, including enabling you to say that it is bronze.

I make the bronze peacepoles with a copper cap so that after a while in the weather the pole is green but the cap is red, as you can see in the photo. It makes a nice mix with the gold letters. Also, the rain dripping off the copper cap over time effects the patina on the bronze pole. The further down you go the more drips from the copper cap hit the pole. That brings more blue into play at the bottom gradually turning to green as you go up. Red, green, blue, gold. The bronze peace pole gets more colorful as time goes on.

Five-Sided
As I've said elsewhere on this site, five sides give the pole more mass than four-sided poles and angles that are more interesting than six-sided poles. This gives it a presence that I think better serves the message.
