I want to cover a table top with copper - any ideas on the process?
Answers:
you could cut the rounded bits off pennies, making little squares, then epoxy them on. theyre not copper all the way through but it would look cool. maybe you could cover it in plexiglass for a smooth surface
Other answers:
Perhaps a contact cement or glue and copper foil. You would have to clear coat it after.

wow i have seen this done in an expensive resort it looked great, and i asked how it was done since i had to install the taps. this is what the cabinet maker did,
purchased copper in 4 x 8 sheets. lit a huge bonfire, and threw them on. after a short time they discoloured into swirls, he pulled them off and cooled them down with water, when dry sprayed them with a sealer and lacquer to keep the colours. then used an epoxy glue( both the top and the copper waited until almost dry) and a lot of weight to stick them to the counter tops then trimmed them with a router sealed them once again and installed them. gold taps looked great with that. copper that's new and shiny worked the best. this resort he did it for caters to the rich an famous and only the best would do for this guy.
