I found a small collection of Botswana agates on Ebay for cheap, and so thought I would give them a try. As expected, there were a few nice ones, a few OK ones, and a few duds. Anyway, this one caught my eye right away, as it had some peach color in it.

Small stone, so I groove wrapped it. I also used half round silver and gold, which I twisted together to make a round wire for the wrap. I kind of like it!

This isn't from the Botswana agates I purchased... not sure where it comes from. I was watching TV while I worked on this one, and accidentally bent the bale backwards from my normal style. Went ahead a finished it anyway. So the front is how I normally finish the back... oh well!

Beautiful cabs and wraps! Nate

I especially like how you twisted the gold and silver together...a perfect mesh and a nice effect.

The twisted wire is subtle and adds a great touch; the "goof" is great! Susan

rocknrob: That had better be a good sandwich for that price, otherwise you're better off making one yourself. Nov 10, 2024 21:10:43 GMT -5

amygdule: I like my sandwich made by a talented artist that deserves a Tip...Thank You Nov 11, 2024 7:12:10 GMT -5 *

rocknrob: I make my own sandwiches and yet I never tip myself... OMG I'm the a@@hole! Nov 11, 2024 11:29:51 GMT -5

amygdule: Her sandwich taste better... Nov 11, 2024 17:07:29 GMT -5 *

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)
