last pic is Zebrawood & Ebony

These things are really fun to make, I used richard's (sailing away) chuck which really made it easy and enjoyable.

Thanks for looking.

They are fantastic Joe . I really like the Zebrawood/Ebony one , what is the blue stuff inside the Ebony ? or is the inner ring suspended inside the bigger ring ?

Butch i didn't notice the blue ring when I took the picture. it is actually a reflection off the upper portion of the photo tent. It has a very, very high gloss CA finish that is kinda hard to photograph.

Those are really pretty. What's the average diameter?

Thanks Cathy. The Zebrawood & Ebony is the smallest diameter at 1 1/4" it is for my fiance' who is petitte, so should be plenty big enough for her. The rest of them are between 1 1/2" to 1 3/4" in diameter.

The pre-ban Ivory one was made for my son and is 1 5/8" diameter. I started off with a piece a little over 1/2" thick and parted it in half so I had two exact matching pieces. I turned the other one to 1 1/4" diameter so he could give it to his girlfriend. They thought it was pretty cool to have "exact" matching pendants.

Very nice pendents. My choice is the Zebrawood/Ebony one.

 

[Grizz]

Okay, where is the tutorial for those?

Pat & Grizz
Go to the "other things we make" board and you find my mini-how to on Richards chuck and richards post (or search for his user id sailing_away)...

I believe there is also a how to in the library.

Those are all very nice! I particularly like the ivory. What is it backed with?
