H.P. Austin
HP Austin handcrafts copper bowls, sinks and venthoods one at a
time in a small Texas hill country shop. HP Austin’s copper sinks, bowls and venthoods products are truly unique because
they are crafted solely from 16 gauge copper. From the fine craftsmanship of
our old world finishes to the substantial weight of the bowl, our coppersmiths
set the highest quality standards in the industry.
A Living Work of Art...
The beauty of an old-world copper bowl, sink or venthood is
the uniqueness of the finish. No two copper sinks will age the same. If a deep,
rich brown is the color you desire, rubbing the basin with peanut oil
periodically will achieve this look. A scrubbing with brass cleaner will keep
the basin a bright, shiny pink. Exposing copper to salts and ammonia will achieve
the ever popular verdi gris finish. If these kind of unique effects are just
what your design requires, our golden oil and old penny finishes will not
disappoint.
