The Steel Feathers are inspired by Northwest Ravens and Barred Owls. Crafted from steel, copper, and stainless steel, they range from 12 inches to 4 feet and reveal stunning colors under different lighting. Mounted on driftwood or suspended from recycled bike gears, they are both elegant and dynamic. To maintain their brilliance and prevent tarnishing, Steve protects them with ProtectaClear.
Steve’s love for Dungeness Crabs runs deep. Each year, he harvests them from his canoe, surrounded by eagles, seals, and porpoises, admiring their perfect natural design. His crab sculptures capture this beauty, crafted from steel gas cylinders, horseshoes, rebar, and bike gears.

“I use the Everbrite Coating and ProtectaClear because they go on super smooth without bubbles, do not yellow, and dry relatively fast. When a client is paying for a piece of artwork they fell in love with, I want to use the best coating available. Also, the tactile texture on my pieces is meant to be touched, and your coatings are very durable.”

DIRECTIONS
1. If you want to protect your metal garden art while it is still new, simply clean any oil or other contaminants from the copper or brass. This can be done by wiping the metal with xylene or denatured alcohol which can be purchased at most hardware or paint stores. This will ensure a completely clean surface so the Everbrite™ can go on evenly and will have good adhesion. Wiping with the solvents will not remove tarnish. If you want to let the metal tarnish slightly and would like to preserve the tarnish and not have it get any worse, then you can stop the advancement of the tarnish with an Everbrite Coating.
​
2. Once the metal is clean, Everbrite Coating or ProtectaClear® can be applied by several methods. It can be sprayed on or wiped on the surface with clear-coat applicators, natural bristled paintbrushes, poly sponge brushes or a pad of lint-free cloth. Let it dry and enjoy your beautiful copper and brass Garden Art, weathervane, cupola, finial, copper gutters, wind chimes and more.
​
For applications that do not get a lot of handling, Everbrite Coating is recommended. For metal projects that get a lot of handling like railings, doorknobs, door knockers, etc, ProtectaClear® is recommended.
