Jade

This is a prototype and I'm still deciding whether to put the hardware on it.
It's a Jade cast I did and hand carved a hummingbird on it.


Thanks for looking

Wow that actually looks like real Jade

Nice job! If you decide to dress it up with the hardware please share the finished prduct.

Very nice

Very nice! Must have taken you some time to get that color down. But it looks quite good! And I really love your hummingbird carving.

Would love to see it "dress up" a pen.

That's gonna make a stunning pen . What kit were you thinking of?

Interesting variation!!

Did you use a jeweler's eye glass?

The color wasn't too difficult to make, once the combination is figured out. We won't talk about all the wrong combinations, we'll just say this was the first try.

It's on a Sierra tube, so I thought maybe an EB? I don't have any though, so it might end up on a platinum click.

No magnification, although it might be helpful. A little hard to hold the old hands steady.

A small jewel for the eye of the hummingbird would really set it off! :biggrin:

That looks really good. It's not easy to carve acrylics. I would definitely kit it up.
