You can get copper wire in any color, so you can buy green to start
with. :)

Yeah, but the natural look is better.

Copper goes dark brown and stays that way for a long time before going
green.
That is a problem. Copper lasts so much longer than cotton. It will
take forever for the coating to wear off. The change in color to its
final patina will take even longer. By the time the wire reaches its
magnum
Haha! The copper outlasting the cotton is okay, and it is probably
infinitely reusable. Unless you have to snip a piece to unwind it, in
which case you might only get 10 to 40 years out of the wire,
depending on how much you have to snip. If you wanted it green, you
could probably lightly sand the
Great idea Philip!
I was thinking (this is where the trouble usually starts!) that with
some larger diameter, uninsulated copper wire one could wrap the
entire bar. With un-coated copper the beausage should start in short
order...

Pretty clever. That turned out well. Copper gets a nice dark green
patina after a while. It will be neat to watch it slowly change its
appearance.

This looks awesome - I am going to do this, it'll match the copper
rivets in a Brooks.
Thanks for the idea.

Crystal radio handlebars! I think the great thing about crystal radios
is you don't even need a battery, right?
It does look good with the copper rivets on the Brooks. This wire must
be coated, because the first wrap has only gotten a bit darker, but
not green. Green would be okay, too. I think

Naw, crystal set inside h/bar with earpiece. No battery

It does look
You guys have much more patience than I do. Anyone remember the girl
featured in a Reader who twined the entire bar? Now that would look
cool, but drive me insane if I had to do it.
Rob give a roll of cloth tape and I'm done Markwardt
