One might think the open weavings are easier to do than the tight weavings. Actually, the open weavings usually take more time, because every other crossover point has to be brazed as many as 4 times. That's a lot of silver brazing.

It takes about 4 to 8 hours to undulate an open weaving, depending on the size. The copper has to be coaxed into shape over metal pipes, including a great deal of gentle hammering. People think I stampe them out with a hydraulic press. It just isn't that easy. Soldering the frame on the back takes 3-4x longer also and a much more complicated clamping system.
