Look good Mike! 
Now you get to try honing your silversmith skills.

I used a flat lap and some diamond wheel have on a bench grind to shape these. I have a polishing wheel for the flat lap to shine them. I also have a diamond saw to cut rocks to. I do use a tumbler sometimes to polish rocks but it take to dang long for me the flat lap works much faster. I know a lady down hre in Summerville that will wire wrap these so I can give them out for Christmas. |
