I believe Dan Helsper posted his experiments with sheathing his prop LE with
brass on the FB page. Never seen copper used.
He can probably chime in.

What I've heard about adding metal leading edge protection may just be a falsehood,
but I've read that moisture can collect under the metal where it's not seen,
and lead to wood rot without any way to be aware of it.

Yes, according to my historical research, copper was used early on as a prop tipping
material. Here you can see my early attempts at forming the brass tipping
material I was playing around with. I never had the guts to actually start drilling
holes though. As much as I would like to, I have never felt like I was
in a position to go through with it, being close to Brodhead time and only having
one prop to rely on. Gary Boothe has also been known to be playing around
with this. Maybe he can chime in with more.....

Hi Dan,
That is beautiful work!
I was just wondering if you you used an peening hammer/bag, then an
english wheel to get the shape? Whatever you did, it looks great!
