Amazing work Butch! I can't wait to see pics of the custom piece!

I wonder if you could use the curved ones to do a 360 HB??? Hmmm.......

Nice Job Butch. Those pens look great.

Would you share some information on your saw set up?

 

[Steve Busey]

Verrrry nice!

So are those 12 bands per pen?

And +1 on what Willie said - are you at a point you'd share your saw setup?

 

[mbroberg]

Those are both breathtaking!!

Butch~ they are absolutely stunning!! I am glad you explained the process or i'd be out in the shop trying to cut shells into strips! And I don't have a shell saw! lol
Very nicely done, the strips really add to the effect!

OK, that didn't turn out like I thought it would. I tried to make a bologny pen but it don't look nothin like urin. Do ya use garlic or plain?
