I'm looking to make something similar to this:

The description says it's galvanized tin, and what looks like copper
screws. I'd like to do something similar in either copper, tin, or
brass. Any suggestion on where to get this type of metal banding and
screws? Doesn't have to be exact, I'm open to some modificatinos.
Just not sure where to get this type of material.

Thanks

And... you posted this to a woodworking group for exactly what
reason? Can't these newbies figure out how to use the internet?

Ok - here's my advice - I prefer walnut over most other woods. No
particular reason - I just like the looks of it. It looks like hell
when galvanized, but then again beauty is in the eye of the
beholder. Copper treatments don't look any much better.

Not the advice you were looking for? Sorry - next time don't post
to a woodworking group.
Hey - it WAS a woodworking project - so don't get TOO miffed.

Ugh - it looked like a metal working group question to my distorted
eyes.Please excuse my inappropriate reply.
