Vintage Patinated Copper Diving Suit Gauntlet Seed Dispenser

Construct the main forearm structure using reclaimed cedar wood treated to mimic the aging of oxidized copper plates. Attach brass rivet detailing along the seams to replicate the structural integrity of industrial naval diving equipment.

Fashion the hand portion of the gauntlet to feature articulating brass finger joints that act as individual perches for visiting birds. These finger ports are cut away to allow easy access to the internal seed chamber hidden within the palm.

Apply a specialized chemical patina solution to the exterior surfaces to achieve a rich, weathered verdigris finish that suggests years of underwater service. Finish the metal accents with a light buffing to highlight the contrast between the copper housing and polished brass fasteners.

Integrate a hidden hopper system inside the forearm that gravity-feeds sunflower seeds down to the fingertips. Add a waterproof sealant to the interior to protect the wood grain and ensure the bird feed remains dry during rainy weather.
