I mostly make elk ivory rings that go North South, this one was a special request to go East West - Trying as I have to cut the ivory in a curve and set the bezel wire flat then shape round which tweaks the bezel all to hell out of shape - it is a guess as to how much distortion will occur so the bezel wire is shaped using a bit of guesswork. After several they become easier.

I've made a couple and found the half-round file useful.

Is that bone or tooth? The color looks like the set deer-teeth I remember from back home in Austria.

I don't know about orientation and all but just what looks good to me.

Looks like it turned out awesome, Gerard! Nate

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)
