This copper golfer weathervane features a golfer playing a game of golf. The weathervane captures the golf ball on the tee and the golfer in the stance where the golfer is swinging the golf club which makes for a great design. It would be great for a golfer or golf club but has mass appeal because it is a really high detailed copper weathervane that all would appreciate

The modern game of golf that we all know and are familiar with originated in the 15^th century. Players play golf on golf courses normally made up of 18 holes. Golfers encounter obstacles, varying terrain and aim to complete the round of golf in the lowest amount of shots and the golfer that complete the round in the lowest amount of shots wins the game

• Exclusive Single Point Contact design allows the weathervane to spin freely in the wind

Construction

• Copper: The weathervane designs are handcrafted from pure copper and brazed. Brazing may be visible on some designs but doesn't tend to lessen the beauty of the lovely copper weathervane design. Globes and spacers are also made from pure copper, copper over time naturally ages to a Verdigris patina. To delay the onset of the natural patina and extend the look of the polished copper finish a clearcoat enamel can be applied. The copper needs to be cleaned with soapy water, wiped with a micro cloth and left to dry before coating with enamel

• Brass: Cast brass is used for the NSEW cardinal points on the range of copper weathervanes

• Steel: Rods and brackets to mount the copper weathervanes are made from steel. The steel is treated with a durable exterior black powdercoat paint. The finish should be good for a reasonable amount of time out in the elements but in time if the steel rods and brackets weather they can be painted with an exterior metal paint such as Hammerite which restores the finish and will help preserve and extend the life of the fittings. Clear mastic can also be used on any joints for example where the rod is inserted and secured into the bracket to seal and further weatherproof and prolong the life of the steel bracket and rod
