« on: October 20, 2014, 07:33:44 PM »
Did two leaves these past couple of weeks. The Dino that needs additional metlwork to be really recogniced as such and a Montana that I,m wearing now for a good two weeks.  :icon_sunny:

First cut


Before sanding to see angles better


And ready to wear

I love how the light shines through the agate!  Very beautiful!   :icon_sunny: 
Perhaps stringing it on a  brown cord instead of black will help bring out the brown fall colors more?

Truly  amazing work. I had no idea Montana Moss agate had that kind of potential.

Oh yes, they do. And the material is often very solid to work on, despite of obvious fractures.

I have never seen a Montana done that way either (I don't get out much) and I hope it is not your last. Gorgeous carving.

You can quote me on this, I have the scar.
