[I'm still around, my CNC stuff is at http://www.computersculpture.com and
art stuff is at http://unitedartworks.com . On the latter page, in the
Techniques of Jewelry section, Peter Rowe explains how to use liver of
sulphur (sulphurated potash) to achieve a black patina on silver- brass
works the same way. It's your least toxic alternative. Birchwood Casey's
premixed patinas work too, especially if you have a small immersible item
to blacken. I'd recommend their Antique Black for brass. Patination is a
fairly involved process, with a lot of variables and precautions necessary
- if you're going to get into it, get a book on the subject, like
Contemporary Patination (reviewed in my Online Bookstore). I don't know
that much about anodizing aluminum- I think it's something that's best
jobbed out- but here's a source of some how-to info on the subject:
http://www.alu-info.dk . Generally, this group is supposed to be dedicated
to CNC -related issues; if you want to talk about this sort of thing, try
alt.sculpture, on the usenet.]
