Have a request from member radio to try his mastery at mounting some bots. Not sure if the shape will be amiable to mounting, but he wants to give it a go. I picked the ones with the flattest backs for a bezel mount, but they are not totally flat. Odd outside shape looks like a silversmithing challenge. Not sure what process radio will go with. Do as you will with these Arlen. Hope they work out for you. The second photo is some random solid coral from the same batch if you want to tinker w/them. The long thin piece is testimony to durability of the coral, it survived banging around with some much larger pieces. bots: solid corals:

Ooooooo!~ You picked some purty ones! Be sure and let me know which you want for you and/or the wife. Might take me a while to get 'em whipped out as I am still at least two weeks behind on custom orders at the shop I really, really need to rig up a lightbox for photos and quit using the cell phone so much.

Look them over first and see what you think Arlen. Hope you enjoy working w/them.

Got some ideas ricocheting around in the brain cells already Let me know what style is preferred as I do mostly traditional Native American style pieces, but also do a fair amount of modern pieces and almost zero "Artsy fartsy" stuff., I tell folks if I called myself an "Artist" and worked in a "Studio" that I would have to triple my prices

I want tradtional radio style. Ricocheting ? What ya got up there Arlen ? Kinda scatterbrained after today being so hectic at the shop from the time I walked in! Think I musta snorted a few of the jewelry tumbling shot the other day and they are still bouncing off the brain cells up there When I get the bots I will make a few sketches and send for your approval. Many times I have a general idea, but after playing with some sketches I come up with what works best for the stone in question. If all else fails, I ask my wife's opinion
