This wood butchering elf mangled up a whole lot of petwood slabs, all Saddle Mountain into pendant shapes for the craft show this coming week end. Thank you Randy for the idea, and inspiration........these will be getting bell capped. Tried the new CPP polish on this tumble (ten days in polish) and I am quite pleased with the results even given I did not pick out all the broken pieces before the polish. They do look better than the photo.
Most of the batch

Let us know how the bell caps work out. I have had a few failures and am gradually starting to drill and glue "up eye" findings, but this is a lot of extra work. With the volume you have here, it would also be a lot of diamond drill strings.

Really nice shine. What is the "new CPP polish" to enlighten us beginners?

Darryl.

WOW they look nice and you get extra credit for artful arrangement!!!! I hope you do well at the show! If you don't mind me asking, what are you going to charge for these? Pricing always seems to be an issue at shows for us.

If you put the bell cap on so it looks like a tooth more guys buy them. Women tend to go for the right side up triangle look and the rectangles. Good luck at the craft show. Let us know how it goes.
