Planning to install woodburning stove one day. The plan includes exposed stovepipe running up through a loft space, through attic, and out to roof chimney. I know the stovepipe comes in black and stainless steel, but I'd rather the look of copper. The house is made of Cedar with Copper Cupula. The look matters.
Can a Wood Burning Stove use a stovepipe made of copper for a chimney

You need to use a listed insulating stovepipe anytime combustible construction is penetrated. These pipes are also listed to be enclosed by construction. Thus it seems acceptable to me to install the listed stovepipe and enclose it inside a decorative copper tube.
For good measure, you should probably have some provision for venting the resulting annular space at the top and bottom of the copper tube.
