Dremeled these at lunch today. I thought I had a fairly stable slab, but I'm learning that Crazy Lace seems to do what it wants. Anyway, here's what I came up with- I think they'll polish up nice. Thanks for looking.   |

Nice — I really like your carnivore's tooth shape! Looks a little too wicked for my wheels, though. They'll both make great pendants.

It honestly wasn't what I was going for but after fractures and some chipping that's how it came out. I really do like crazy lace but it sure isn't the easiest to work with- in my very limited experience. 😁 |

That's funny when I looked at the second one "wicked" came to my mind too!

Actually, I do have burs of various grits, so nothing is really stopping me, but I have nothing in low grits. After you mentioned tire burs I had to search for them. The ones I found are carbide. Do you happen to know what those go for? |

Do you happen to know what those go for? Walt manofglass found these for me. Diamond Burrs, various grits available. Right now the 36 grit burrs are $36, they're out of 80 grit and 120 is $28 for a 50-piece set. I really like the 36 grit burrs. Full disclosure- I bought a set on Amazon for like $13, they're 120 grit. They're ok, but the ones from Jade Carver are much better. They're larger in diameter and way easier for me to control. jadecarver.com/product/50pc-large-burr-set/ |

You're welcome. I should have probably said that they're not all tire burrs- but a good portion of the set is. I should also probably experiment with different shaped burrs, but for now I'm able to just use those for what I do. |

Not sure what the difference is, but MLS has burrs and bits listed in the catalog starting around page 40 lapidarysupplies.com/ |
