Hi Mike

    I don't know of a book that deals with the process, but I saw a show
    about the restoration of the Statue of Liberty.  They showed a
    segment on the forming of the copper replacement pieces and it showed
    them using large wooden forms, some rounded, some with depressions,
    not unlike those used for raising pieces but much larger.  They
    didn't show it from flat sheet to finished piece, but enough to get
    an idea of the process.  You could research the restoration and
    hopefully it might lead you to a book or source that explains it in
    detail. 

Hope that helps
Brigid Ryder
