The tiger iron swirl is my favorite. Must take a long time to complete one.

Thanks! The jade carvings take the most time. From design to final polish the open wave took close to 6 hr's. The tiger iron was less than 1 hr.

Sweet work, Tim! Love 'em all, but the tiger iron "swirl" is my fave.
:drool:
The quartz crystal's a favorite, too. Did you lap that freehand?

Yes, the crystal was lapped freehand. I just used the original sides so it kept the same form then cleaned up the point as it had a big fracture that I ground out.
