Thanks to Brian beefjello I have a box of Dino to play with. This is a cab I made from some of that material, set in my first split shank ring. Not perfect, but I'm happy with it!

The ring is complicated enough, also beautifully simple and the stone is just amazing! All combined: kickass!

Beautiful. I'm still trying to work out in my head how to do a split shank. This was the video I based my technique on. As you can see in the picture I did not cut straight. But with practice, I hope to get things like this to be less noticeable.

But with practice, I hope to get things like this to be less noticeable. I guess it helps to have a bench pin. And a bench. And a saw.
