This is a Bolo Tie I did for myself. Great way to use up small cut off pieces. The Rhodochrosite piece had a large void in it. So I hogged it out & evened it up with a diamond burr. Then cut a piece of Turquoise to fit down in it & epoxied it in place. I like the pillow look of a lot of the inlays I've seen. So that's the way I did it. This was the first piece of this type of inlay/intarsia. Hope you like it & thanks for looking.

The materials are: a couple of different Turquoise, Lapis, Rhodochrosite, Chrysopraise, Malachite & pearl shell (sterling of course LOL)

I love it! Tanya

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)
