My wife & I just had our 6th anniversary. The nominal material for such
an event is iron. I got her a garden scupture that I thought folks here
would get a kick out of:

It's not every day you can give your wife something that is signed with a
plasma torch. Every time she sees it she gets a great big grin. We've
named the aliens Gidney & Floyd after the moon men on Rocky & Bullwinkle,
and the gnome is Masklin, after a Terry Pratchet character.
It's unprotected, and I'm thinking about giving it a good coat of car wax
before I put it out. I know there have been discussions about coatings
for brass, and I'll have to go back & search for other options. The
scuptor suggested Krylon, but I suspect that will peel after enough UV
exposure. Also, the lower jaws will pool water, so I'm going to add a
couple small drain holes.

I think Everbrite is Nyalic. I can't find a reference now but I think
I did discover that at one time when trying to get some Nyalic.
