I got a message on Facebook 7 days ago asking if I knew anyone that would make a custom pendant out of pudding stone. I replied that I might be interested and asked for some info including pictures of her rock. In her reply she said this the only pudding stone that her and her husband were able to find while celebrating their anniversary on Drummond Island. The picture of the rock made me question whether or not I would be able to get her a decent pendant from it and I told her it would be a gamble trying to find any jasper inside of it. She agreed to try and mailed me the rock. On about the fourth cut I sliced right through the middle of a piece of jasper and sent her a photo with template options and I was able to get two pendants with the exact same piece of jasper in each one. Today is exactly 7 days from her first message and I just packed up her box.

Picture sent by customer

first couple slices were duds

This is the matching set we went with

Finished pieces. She only wanted one but I got carried away and thought it would be nice to have one in copper and one in silver.

Thanks for looking
Chuck

They both look great. I'm sure they will be treasured mementos.
