My goodness Ken, I can't believe the colors in that cab. Never heard of Fordite before. Looks almost like you painted all those lines on that perfectly. The wire just seems to be part of the pattern of the stone. Very nice work.

I like that one a lot Ken. I've seen Fordite slabbed and cabbed but never seen a finished piece. Outstanding!
drocknut... Not sure if you knew but Fordite is actually paint. It's the different colors layered and dried together found near auto factories and such.

Wow - you keep posting gorgeous examples like this, and I'm becoming more and more desirous of getting some fordite and trying it myself! The psychedelic effects are intrigueing, to say the least. I like.

I bet you are changing a lot of mindsets about man made material. That one jumps right out of the screen.

Gorgeous pendant.
A knife with fordite scales would be so cool!
