Title: another red Gunther...
Post by: billy on June 09, 2010, 12:35:11 am
Well, the hits just keep on coming!  Here's another Gunther I finished this afternoon.  Heat treated Mook jasper.  This one is a little smaller, but much thinner than the one I posted yesterday.  Even still, I didn't break any barbs off!  Whew!  It was really tricky though.  I had to tip-toe thru the final edge serrations just to be sure I didn't ruin it and break a barb off.  Here it is...and one pic with the two points together.

I actually was kinda wishing I had one of those jewelers magnifying helmets when I was making that second one.  Those serrations are so small I could hardly see what I was doing....
