Finished up a sodalite off cut and applied a hidden binding to it.

3 hidden bindings, the left one was sold as West Australian Nephrite jade, but it is too soft, has a greenish milk and wrong SG so is probably diopside/tremolite mix, the middle is the sodalite, the other is dino bone from Utah.

Also completed another pacific islander hook

I love the hidden bindings. Very elegant. Too bad about the "jade", not hard to be mislead about it.

The cabs are also beautiful. I'd like to see one of your cabs "naked", before you rope it. Adrian

Gorgeous! How do you do the hidden bindings? They're so cool.

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Is there like a "T" drilled across and down and just slipped through and wound over with the rope or material? Looks great!
