More Pendants

[broitblat]

Once I got started on these, I can't stop until I had one for all the women in the family

Here's a few from this weekend:

The first is Cocobolo, Blankwood, Yellowheart, and Tulipwood. The second is corian, and the third is Amboyna.

Thanks for looking.

Barry, all 3 are terrific but I think I like the first one the best. Great combination.

Wow Barry, those look great. My daughter seen me looking at the last few you posted and has been pressuring me to make her and her friends some. I like the Amboyna the best, but all are nice.

Wow, Those are awesome is there a tutorial on them any where that tells how to make them.

The one I made had a flat back where it came off of a piece of double stick tape. Does everyone else do the same? If not do you glue 2 together to make them look nice from either side?

Nice work, I like the last one the best. Eric, the backer I use has been turned down to smaller than my finished size so I can round the back on the lathe too. No hard edges.:doctor:

Hans, what is the final dimension?

 

[sailing_away]

Very nice. I got inspired this weekend and made a few for the wife and friends. I also turned down the backer to a smaller diameter than my finished size. I can round off and sand the edges. Where did you get the leather cord from and what length did you use?

I've used both wood and pick guard as backing on the segmented pieces (and have learned that I need backing on some burls, too) and undercut the edges. I finish the back by hand.

The cord came from Michaels (I've also done some with gold chain from Michaels). I haven't measured precisely, but I think I've been running about 18" in length.

Cheers,
