What would be a cool way to make these 2x10s look nicer other than just boxing them in and covering up the bolts? I'm already planning on wrapping the 6x6 support with copper downspouts I've got laying around. I'm not going for an industrial look I just like copper.

Stick framing will never be beautiful.
Why not clad these in copper also?

paint them like hot rods

I only have three copper downspouts. To get enough copper sheeting to do this 20 foot run of the 2x10s it would probably be 500 dollars or something silly like that.
