I have slways wanted to try this. Do you have any problems with bending it after you cut it out. I take it you cut it out when flat. Jack

Jack,
I don't use a former to bend I use a small rawhide hammer. With finesse you can form after having been sawed or saw after being formed. You'll have to see what works for you if using this method. I'd suggest using a solid piece to bend first to get used to annealing and forming before going to the pierced work.........unless you're familiar with this type of work. Clear as mud, correct? Give a shout if I could help.
If you haven't seen, I'd recommend viewing James Miller's album.
Thanks for looking,
Mark

Very nice Mark, I hope your gift attracts the praise that it deserves from the giftee. There is nothing like a gift hand made especially for someone. I am sure it will be very highly treasured.

Willem,
This was a new design similar to the one on my site. Thanks
Ron,
Thank you, I also hope it is received with the same praise. I've always believed that a handmade object from the heart is worth more than a sticker price.
Merry Christmas,
Mark
