Is it Teepee Canyon? I can't wait to hear from the real experts to chime in because it's truly impressive. Wonderful setting too!

That looks great Dave, any chance you can show a picture of the backside. It does have the "look" of TeePee canyon but I can tell its just not quite right. New find from mexico, nice

If I show the back it will reveal my "Jedi "prong trick.and yes the majority of the time I just sit down with pliers and start bending.i do usually have a general idea of what's going to happen though.with this one I wanted to see some silver in the middle,hence two separate pendants soldered together.a PIA with 4 sets of prongs.just kidding about the Jedi trick my pendants are open in back the prongs go from one side to the other.pinning the cab in. Once again thank ya'll. Dave And sorry about the dust and all that jazz
