Kind of a nice change just doing hand work with no power tools. Well almost none still used the buffing wheel at the end.

I used to see an Argentina copal dealer at some of our shows. He would use wet/dry paper by hand and hand buff with a piece of old denim at the shows. Once at Quartzsite many years ago a guy had amber very low priced. I happened to overhear him tell someone on the phone "hurry up and make some more amber, this stuff is selling like crazy". You have to buy from a reputable as there is a lot of fraud with amber. As a hardened tree resin it is easy to make fake plastic look alikes.

Now I'm in search of an amber to tumble and polish to make a necklace for her with these beads. Beautiful pieces.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
