Dirty beat up hands are part of the hobby. lol! Hub, you've given me an idea here. I have a problem stone I've been working on that has a pithy spot that goes through top to bottom. It's a nice cab and I like it. I'm thinking of carving out the pith a bit and putting a wire accent. After working on these do you think that's a doable thing? Also, what are you using for adhesive on the inserts? Would super glue work or is this an apoxy thing?

Thanks you guys! Cathy I'll PM ya about your idea. Randy I wish I could take credit for the twisted and ground flat wire, a friend taught me that, He was making bracelets with twisted wire when he grinds down and polishes they look faceted.....Hub
