Copper flashing on wood windows

JohnSprung | Posted in Construction Techniques on

I want to try copper for flashing around my new windows.  Has anybody done that? Any ideas or suggestions?  Would stainless nails be OK for the stucco molding?  Any recommended source for copper and supplies in LA?

Thanks —

    scares me, and I'm fearless

      It's Los Angeles.  This is my own house, so I'm open to trying interesting ideas.
