Hello Everyone, Well, this one is getting to my step dad late but at least I finished it. I ordered the bolo and then had to re-glue the tips on. When I pulled on them the first time, they came right off. I glued the cab as well as tightened the tines to hold the cab in place.   Thanks for looking! Fran |

Ok, now I really need to know where you get your blanks (if that is what they are called). The scene in that stone along with your cabbing skills and the setting is eye popping unbelievable.
Wow, just wow!

Thanks you two!
I ordered the bolo and money clips from Eloxite.com. I think they look more copper here because of the wood and my lighting. They are really gold and not the expensive stuff. Thought I needed to start on the steel plated items before I move forward with really expensive stuff. My only problem with their site is that they have so much to choose from, you can keep clicking into different areas and never make up your mind what you want because you literally want everything! (at least I do).
I did see copper settings somewhere, maybe even on this site but I just can't remember.
Fran
