My daughter asked me if I could make a bowlerite guitar pick for her BF for his birthday this weekend. I said I'd love to try.

It's not perfect, if you look close you can see a few scratches. But she wants it for him to play guitar with, so I figured it'll get beat up anyway.

The pick is maybe 2mm thick in the center & tapers to almost a point around the edge.

If he doesn't like it for playing, I can drill a hole in it & make it a pendant for him.

Thanks for looking.

I have made a few pendants from bowlerite but never anything so thin. Does it seem strong enough? I do not think fordite would hold up at all at those dimensions. Chuck

Chuck, it's plenty strong enough, but probably would get brittle if thinner.

bowlerite. oh my! pretty color- its really neat. I had to google it. clever use of abundant materials. I saw about 20 bowling balls for sale over the past 10 days, hitting resale shops and garage sales with guest to the area. They were averaging about $4 each.

Kind of a pain in the butt to slab it tho.

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)
