Did they take a good polish?

They did not take a glossy coat, but they do retain the wet look with the polish but not alot of shine. The one on the left looks about like it really looks.

With its heart shape it would make a very nice wire wrap piece.

Will you wrap it yourself?

Not that I would not like to learn. May take some of the lesser pieces and really teach myself before trying anything with that piece.

Wish you luck and a lot of fun if you do decide to learn to wrap. If you need help, just holler.

The middle one actually took a glossy polish, but I don't care for the pits on the left side of it.

Those look great. Tami

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
