Your patience creating those challenging shapes is impeccable. And your workmanship immaculate as usual.

Thanks Kurt, this one tried me, first boulder opal I have carved, huge variation in hardness, my carbide smoothing undercut badly, but diamond smoothing and polishing helped fix this.

Another gorgeous carving, Michael. I love the second opal on the piece too. Thanks for sharing it with us, and give Margie our best.

Thats such a clever way to make the best of little color, and the stop is grouse too.

Thanks, this piece was a challenge, the small toggle string piece is a real eye catcher, I entered this in the Yowah opal jewlery comp last weekend, not sure of the result yet, just like getting my carvings seen.
