Bi metal that is. This one the frame is two strands of copper and want a sterling silver twisted together and hammered out.

This is a big one made with a cab I cut for the backlit competition. The entire wrap is 3.7 in long. I got to use my new texture hammer.

I'll have a couple more to post here in the next day or so but they need buffed out and I'm done for the night.

I like the long agate, the textured border looks nice. What gauge wire did you use for that ? Happy Hammering Patty

The frame is my typical 12 gauge stripped romex.

Somehow I overlooked these before, but I think both are phenomenal. Not only are they creative, but they both highlight the stone perfectly.

dandresow: Thanks. Haven't done anything with rocks for years. Just fixed an older HP 18 inch and dug out a 10 inch and 18in Lortone and I have a couple of trim saws and need to make something to cab with. We stay broke and I only have enough to put oil in 1 Dec 1, 2024 16:49:20 GMT -5 *
